If you’re still undecided at this point, you don’t deserve to vote.
Biking is also pretty dependent on the individual and their setup. The elevation changes, distances, sustained speed, and terrain one individual and their equipment can handle can vary drastically with another person. Not to mention someone’s tolerance for whatever the weather might be doing at the time while you’re completely exposed to the elements on a bike or walking.
It’s just them taking a “your results may vary” approach while covering their own ass.
Anecdotally, while driving in Colorado, I put in a destination that I was driving to in bike mode on accident. The destination was like 80 miles away from where I was and involved climbing and descending a mountain pass. Google Maps was very optimistic about how long it would take me to bike there…all without knowing my anything about my health, the kind of bike I have, if I would be able to bike at that elevation, etc. (being Google they probably knew)
I switched over to Ride with GPS for the most part (my activity there still syncs over to Strava), but I grabbed the route files from here: https://ridewithgps.com/users/171708
How was the WP area? I thought their rides up there looked really nice. I’ll have to try one soon.
I followed this, except on the way back, I stuck to the right and went back the way I came on 343 instead of taking 344 over to 306 early as I wanted to avoid the pavement as much as possible (there was a lot more traffic than I was expecting). I parked in town, but if you wanted to avoid the paved road completely, it looked like you could park on some pull-outs on 343.

Picture from Friday’s ride from Buena Vista, CO to Cottonwood Lake and back (25.5mi/2,200ft elevation gain).
Picture from last night’s after-dinner ride on my nearby trails (10.5mi/550ft elevation gain).
No pictures from this morning’s trip to the farmer’s market (18mi)
