A note from the maps' author:
I made these maps to aid cyclist unfamiliar with the routes around the Grand Junction area or, as in the case of the Colorado National Monument, laws that are unique to some of our local rides. These maps are free to download and print, they're my gift to the cycling community that has done so much for me. As for where we go from here: I've got some ideas for further routes including a series of maps for the Tour of the Valley Century route and even a couple multi-day rides; but first, a question: Is anyone out there? I haven't heard from anyone using these maps for a long time and I'm curious as to whether they are getting used. I'd be delighted to continue making more of these but only if there are riders out there who can make use of them. Please drop me a note at deinonychi@hotmail.com.
Meanwhile, you're invited to discuss these maps or anything else concerning road cycling in the Grand Junction area on the Grand Junction Colorado Road Cycling RoutesGrand Junction Colorado Road Cycling Routes facebook page.
A word about copyrights: You'll notice that each map I made has a copyright notice. Does this mean that you can't print it out and use it? Absolutely not! You are more than encouraged to download the .pdf file, print the map, use it, pass it along, whatever you like. Almost. What you can't do is sell them or in any other way make money off of my maps. I made these for everyone to print out for free. Local businesses, such as bike shops, have my permission to print these out and give them away for free, but they're also not allowed to sell them or otherwise make money off them unless they've made prior arrangements with the map author.
If you represent a local business interested in making such arrangements, feel free to contact me at deinonychi@hotmail.com .
Thanks,
John Hodge
