|
| The Meridian/Jerry Murphy Road south of Hanover Road is dirt and - while rideable on a road bike - pretty bumpy. |

|
| Hwy. 115 is pretty hilly and carries a lot of traffic but has a good shoulder and is very scenic as it runs along the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains. Hwy 50 into Pueblo West is generally flat and has a wide shoulder. |

|
70.2km |
|
| Start point is Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs. Ride a couple of segments on I-25 (it is legal and really not bad - there is a wide shoulder). Exit I-25 at Purcell Blvd. and then ride west and south to Pueblo West. There are bike lanes on Purcell and a bike path along McCullough south of US 50. (No bike path or bike lane north of US 50 but McCullough is not heavily traveled in that area). |

Cross-Country Route 40 Bike Trip - Day 12 (Dinosaur to Craig) |

|
| Day 12 presents one of the most difficult rides in terms of logistics. Once you depart Dinosaur, there are absolutely no services until you reach Craig, some 88 miles later. No water, no food and no accommodations. There is a general store and a gas station in Maybell (58 miles) but they are not always open. On top of that, the changes in elevation can also be a challenge. You'll descend for the first 18 miles followed by a moderate 1,100 foot climb over 20 miles. Then there will be a descent followed by a 500 foot climb during the last 15 miles. 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. |

| This day's ride starts out deceptively easy with a gradual ascent of about 600 feet over 50 miles. Then you slam head-on into the Rocky Mountains. After passing through Steamboat Springs, you'll ascend Rabbitt and Muddy Passes, climbing about 3,500 feet in 15 mile span. Afterwards, it is all downhill to Kremmling. 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. |

|
| This is probably the toughest day of the entire Route 40 cross-country trek. The first 60 miles cover a rather brutal ascent of more than 4,000 feet in elevation. Once you reach the summit of Berthoud Pass (the highest point on all of Route 40), you will rapidly descent about 4,000 feet in about 20 miles. 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. |

| 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. |

|
| After traversing the Rocky Mountains, this day's journey is welcome relief. You'll be riding across the high plains with a 1,300 foot drop in elevation over 86 miles. There are almost no services along this section, so you should plan on carrying extra water and food. Services are only available in Limon, Kit Carson and Cheyenne Wells. 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. |

|
| This day's journey is an easy ride through the high plains. You will drop about 1,500 feet in elevation over the 106 mile span. The towns are few and far between, so you should plan on carrying plenty of drinking water and food. Services are available only at Sharon Springs, Wallace, Winona, Oakley, Grinnell and Grainfield. The only special consideration for this day's riding is that a significant portion of the old Route 40 alignment east of Oakley is unpaved gravel road. 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. |
