I ride through this area a lot. Just to show some other options, here is a modified version cyccommute's link:

This link does half of the Morgul Bismark loop in the reverse direction, skirting the Southern and Western edges of Old Superior, then dumps you onto the Broadway bike path which parallels Broadway/S Foothills Hwy/93.
Now the Broadway path is kind of confusing at first because part of the path is on the East side of Broadway, part on the West side, (connected with MUP tunnels), and part of it uses a side street that parallels Broadway. Once you get it figured out, you can take the path as far North as Arapahoe where it ends.
In the Metro area, there are 4 roads that I consider to be the prettiest country lane rides around. Cherryvale is one, Valmont is another, Riverdale is a third and Easley in Golden is the fourth. They are all beautiful rides along tree lined curvy roads and most of them are quiet. (Riverdale has some more traffic than it used to.)
