A ride down Rock Island trail, the Front Range trail up to 24 and into Red Rocks Canyon park. I get done there and go up 30th through Garden of the Gods, then to Sinton Trail and back up Rock Island trail.
I don't know about Ute - I try to bike to the trails, and it seems pretty difficult to get there. I don't know when Palmer is going to be ready - I went through there 2 weeks ago and it was a mess. It's five minutes from my house (even going up hillzilla on Chelton) - and my guess it won't be ready to ride for another month. And that depends on what kind of spring we have...
