I am NW of the Denver area. I will be mostly tied up with my in-laws visiting that week (and I'm much more of a moderate-slow paced rider). I'm not familiar with any riding in or around Denver, but if you don't mind a short drive I can direct you to a lot of great foothill/mountain rides near my neck of the woods if you are looking for route suggestions.

So much for our cool spring, it's now been ridiculously hot with no relief in sight. As if the altitude wouldn't be enough, now everyday is in the high 90's. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate!
