93 by itself does scare me in sections.

36 to Estes sounds like fun, just would take me over an hour to get to 36, Boulder has a lot of great rides that would fit the bill, Cherryvale, Baseline and such but I was hoping to go out from my house.

Riding in the aerobars on the bike paths = disaster wiating to happen, too many obstacles, turns, peds, kids, etc.

Any Lakewood ideas? Does Morrison road have good shoulders? I know it does from 470 up to the park entrance but I have always gotten onto the bike path from there.
That wouldn't be a bad ride either. Morrison Road has lots of traffic but it has great shoulders. Here's a route of 25 miles. If you want more mileage, go to old Kipling and ride along Yale to Wadsworth, then shift south to Dartmouth. Dartmouth is one of the nicest roads you could find for timetrialing.

Another place to do timetrials is at Cherry Creek Res. (they have weekly ones there).
