Colonel Ray Way is a short, moderate mountain biking route in Kentucky, about 0.7 miles from the town of Fort Thomas. The out-and-back trip covers roughly 0.28 miles, with a one-way climb of about 61 feet from a low point of 594 feet to a high of 686 feet. 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 a few hundred feet lower than the route, so temperatures on the climb run slightly cooler. Infantry Row is just 0.1 mile away, and Major Brown Path and Major Bigstaff Path are both about 0.2 mile off. For climbing, Purple Bridge is about 3.6 miles away.
