This is the last day for biking through the Rocky Mountains. You'll leave Idaho Springs and then descend almost 2,000 feet in 20 miles. This will take you into Denver. From there, you'll enter the high plains and enjoy a fairly level ride for the next 90 miles. You may want to split this day's ride into two days and do some exploring in the Denver area. If you follow this itinerary, you do so at your own risk. Failure to exercise good judgment can result in traffic violation citations, injury and even death. If in doubt, please consult with state and local law enforcement agencies.by fbrusca
