Colonel Cochran Way is a short, easy mountain biking route in Kentucky, about 0.7 miles from the town of Fort Thomas. It is an out-and-back ride of roughly 0.6 miles, with a low point of 786 feet and a high of 831 feet, a climb of about 36 feet one way. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Cincinnati show October highs around 68°F with lows near 44°F, and May highs around 75°F. That station sits about 340 feet lower than the route, so temperatures on the climb run a little cooler. The route sits among several other mountain biking spots, with Cannon Mount Row, Battle Row and Twin Wells all about 0.1 mile away. For climbing, Purple Bridge is about 3.5 miles off.
