Cycled for 1 mile into Denver county and rejoined it. Being that I enter the trail up north next to a Thornton Police station and say hello to officers from time to time..... you draw your own conclusions. Moronic rules. Anyhow, I have been planning to find a street route due to bad weather and horrible paths. I guess tomorrow I try route 1. What an idiotic rule. Maybe I will object to it if I can ever find the time.
The Platte Trail goes from 120th to somewhere near downtown Denver right? Isn't one of it's primary purposes for bike use? How much of is in the Adams country jurisdiction?
This seem ridiculous to me. I can't imagine being stopped on one of the trails up here and told it is illegal.
