cycommute,

Thanks so much for the detailed options. This is the sort of detail I was looking for. Now, I just need to make up my mind. We are visiting friends in Pueblo, Denver, Boulder and Fort Collins, but may use some public transportation to get around once we're in the metro area. We're even considering (newly in the last few days) taking a bus or something back to Pueblo to get back on the Transam there when we're ready to leave the Denver area. I haven't seen much of the area between Canon City and Walden and would hate to miss it.

Thoughts about that? Thank again for the help.
