Over the past month I have taken this route three times. It takes 2-2.5 hours, depending on how hard I pedal. The first two times I headed out going east and returned west. The last time I did it in reverse (by accident really, I just started going that way out habit for some reason). The downside of the east to west route is that there is a big hill right near the end, and I am already somewhat tired. The upside of the east to west route is that the view of the mountains heading west on the Clear Creek Trail is nicer than the view from Little Dry Creek Trail. The route is about 37km (22 miles), with a fair amount of elevation loss and gain. It starts on the Little Dry Creek trail, which meets up with the Clear Creek Trail, which then meets up with the Ralston Creek Trail.
Another feature of the route is that there are a couple nice spots to stop along the way in Olde Town Arvada, in case I want to take a break and have a drink.
I took a number of pictures along the way of things I found interesting.
