Quick question about the trail. You said that you can pick it up around Sapp Bros? I was out there last night and the night before, albeit in my car on Quebec... I see where the trail meets Quebec on the east side but didn't see where it picks up on the other side. Do you head down that frontage road along 270 for a bit or something?
Thanks so much for all these mapped rides! I was really hoping I could do the 50m metro denver ride tomorrow but something has come up and I probably won't get to ride this weekend at all....ermph!

This is the satellite view of the Sand Cr trail (Brown line).
Trail comes down SE between buildings & Sand Cr to 47th where it is in the open and doubles back to go under Quebec.

Here's the old DBTC Ft Lupton Century route as far as I can recall. Some of these roads might be dirt still but, if you find one that is, just go east or west a mile and you'll find another road. By turning at certain points on the route you can cut the ride to 25 mile, 50 mile or 65 miles.

Here's a nice ~40 mile ride from Denver to Arvada and back. It is a rather involved route with lots of twists and turns but worth the ride. It includes a nasty climb in the middle of it (Arvada Res.) and some bike path riding (it's easier to make connections). But it also uses Easley Road which, along with Riverdale Rd, Valmont Rd and Cherryvale Rd, is one of the nicest rides around. It starts at Berkeley Park off of 46th and Sheridan. There is parking there.
