End point at Canon City (several ways to get there by car, ?? by bike)
Golden Gate Canyon (sweet! short steep bits)
Coal Creek Canyon (72) (too much traffic, but otherwise very nice)
Boulder Canyon (119) (way too much traffic)
Lefthand Canyon (ultra sweet! steep at the top)
St. Vrain (7) (sweet! smooooth pavement)
Estes Park (36 from Lyons or 34 from Loveland, both with a bit of traffic)
So there are a whole bunch of ways to make loops of varying lengths. The high point is Ward (9300 feet) and Meeker (~9000 feet).
Sorry to say this but are you ever off on your geography
Peak-to-Peak starts near Central City/Blackhawk (where CO 119 starts from US6), not Canyon City. Canyon City (proper spelling if you don't have the little ~ over then n) is another 150 miles south. Also it runs through Meeker
Park not Meeker. Meeker, CO is over on the west slope.
Other than that you are good.
