Post your fav sumo routes here.

I checked out a couple roads today off Golden Gate Canyon Rd. CO Rd 57/White Ranch is about 3 miles up the canyon and loops back around to GG Rd. Rockin’ pavement for 3 mi then broken pavement/gravel for a couple miles, and back to good pavement for 5. Head back to town on GG and take Robinson Hill Rd/Centennial Cone to Douglas Mtn, which drops you on Hwy 119 after 7 miles of mostly broken pavement/gravel. 63 mile ride from Lakewood.

I'm with Matty as I'm leaving tomorrow for work. But the Wellington lake loop is a blast. Magnolia off of boulder canyon is fun.

If the weather holds, I’ll try a backward variation of that next week.....looping back around on Foxton so I can get to work by 4.

Subscribed.

I'm moving to Denver this weekend, and I have all next week off, so I might have to take the WR out for a spin to explore.

So you are looking for a slow dual sport route with no fun?

No, just some scenic dirt roads with rockin' pave on the way there.

Found another good sumo route in Golden Gate today. Mtn Base Rd from Kriley Pond is paved, very twisty and 19% grade! It will take you to Gap Rd (very good dirt road), which runs from Hwy 72 to 119. I rode the nine miles back down to Coal Creek Canyon. The road is Twin Spruce from the canyon (‘bout 10 miles up). Total ride was 67 mi. from Lakewood.
