City advice
Getting around
Local/area biking info. site with maps/trails, etc.;
for biking trails and such , use your search engine looking for COPMOBA (Air BNB won't let us put the link here). Bike rentals: Ruby Canyon Cycles and Bicycle Outfitters.
Gas stations with attached convenience stores are at the next stoplight east of us and just past the round about west of us (both on CO 340/Broadway).
Safeway is the closest grocery store and is also at the next stoplight east of us.
Note that some restaurants add special extra charges (like taxes and fees) but it's usually not very much. In any case, you may want to check their website/call them to check on such.
