Nice going Cheri - welcome to the SW
Here's something you might want to do...
Tell b/f about easy ride...
Load up car with bikes
Head west on i-70
Take Idaho Springs exit
Unload bikes and begin riding
Ride south on 103 for 15 miles
Take Mount Evans Scenic Road
Ride for 15 miles to summit
Now that is as cool a view as you'll get in the eastern half of the Front Range

Cheri,
Welcome to Denver! Sounds like a great location.
You can also visit Outdoor Divas at Cherry Creek mall, ride the Platte River trail south to the Bear Creek trail, my neck of the woods, or continue on to Chatfield SP. You can also ride the Platte River trail north, then connect with the Clear Creek and ride to Golden.
I'm just guessing but don't count on Mt Evans at this time of year, save it for summer. The lower part may still be open but the upper part is most likely closed. Besides, it's a lot colder up there than it is here in Denver.
If you're here Thanksgiving, the DBTC is doing a ride from the Performance at Lakewood to Red Rocks. It was my first ride here and absolutely gorgeous.

Congrats Cheri, I know you'll love your new home. Pat yourself on the back for taking the plunge on living the life you want. Don't look back and go for a ride if life's worries start to bother you. You'll do great once you get settled. Best Wishes. Jennifer

Cheri,
From the Mt. Evans website:
Monday, September 25, 2006 — The mountain has been closed because of ice and drifting snow and will not reopen before Memorial Day in 2007.
There is a storm coming in tomorrow that will dump 2-3 ft of snow in some areas over 9,000 ft. Have you tried Snowshoeing?
