I'm heading out to Ft. Collins, Colorado for a few days next week. Anyone got any road recommendations for me while I'm there?
+1 all day, you know what... +2(SLA1500 @ Aug. 08 2007,19:23) Not for the Ft Collins area, but if you get into the mountains check this out.
The ride; from Vail to Minturn, Leadville, Twin Lakes and over Independence Pass into Aspen, Glenwood Springs and back to Vail. 200 of the most awesome miles I've logged in Colorado. FYI, the leg from Twin Lakes over Independence Pass into Aspen is legendary. Many, many 10mph switchbacks, and a good road so narrow that they don't even paint a center line. Also, it is so remote and high (elevation) that the Colorado department of roads doesn't even try to maintain it in the winter.. ..., when it starts snowing, they simply close it down. In a word, AWESOME!!
Oh, I'm headed there Friday am for 4-6 days.
I live here and there are thousands of roads you can take...(CrashTestDanny @ Aug. 08 2007,12:13) I'm heading out to Ft. Collins, Colorado for a few days next week. Anyone got any road recommendations for me while I'm there?
I've ridden that route, in a bit different order. Nice(SLA1500 @ Aug. 08 2007,21:23) Not for the Ft Collins area, but if you get into the mountains check this out.
