Sand Creek Greenway...West end of trail


Here are some photos from my ride this morning.  Felt good to get out and spin after not riding for over a week...dont ask.  On the way out I took pics of the Sand Creek Greenway from Stapleton to where it ends/meets the Platter River Trail, north of downtown.  
This trail is awesome...with the exception of the refineries along it banks, and the Natural Gas pumping stations along the way as well.  Once you get past them, theyre on the far west end of the trail, its a pretty nice hardpacked ride.  Not too much paved, but lots in the dirt road/sandy road realm.  Anyway...enjoy...

  1. Nice! I am truly envious both of the commute and somewhat of the bike... although my two CX steads have been doing pretty well for me, so I can't complain.

    Nonetheless, enjoy.
