By bicycle from Denver to Glendale

This chill ride takes you from the heart of Denver to the small city of Glendale, just east-southeast of downtown. Starting off in Denver, you’ll get a taste of the city’s lively atmosphere—think street art, friendly cyclists, and the occasional food truck wafting delicious smells your way. The route is mostly on paved cycleways, making it super smooth and beginner-friendly. You’ll pass through a mix of cityscapes and calmer neighborhoods, seeing a different side of the Denver metro area.

You’ll climb a bit (about 67 meters total), but nothing too intense, and the well-maintained paths mean you can really enjoy the journey. Glendale, your destination, is known for its compact size, rugby stadium, and a surprisingly vibrant nightlife packed into less than a square mile. By the time you arrive, you’ll have covered just over 9 km—enough to earn a post-ride snack at one of Glendale’s local hangouts!
