Rode today through Longmont up to Lyons. Then took 7 to Allenspark and 72 down to Nederland. From there a brief stint on the peak to peak over to 72 (coal creek) and then back on 93.

Great ride, super nice day. Roads were basically in good condition with the notable following exceptions.

1. The top part of 72 is well shaded and still has lots of snow on the sides of the road. It's melting and there are many wet and sandy sections.

2. The hill on the peak to peak leaving Nederland is also well shaded. Loads of sand there yet too.

3. Coal Creek (72) the switch backs leading up the hill towards Wondervu on both sides are very sandy in places.

The rest of the roads were essentially clean and very quiet for a saturday.

Happy riding!
