I was hoping to get out this weekend, but it looks like many of the roads in the front range may be down for awhile.

If you find a route that is passable for undamaged, can you please post up.

Or this site. I like maps.

Since Watkins and Rampart and IMI and probably every other place to ride in the dirt is soaked and flooded, maybe its time for a Sumo ride. Poor thing hasnt been ridden in over a month.

With the roads being what they are, I bet sumos are going to be one of the only things to ride and have fun. New definition of off road.

I road up north yesterday. 119 from Central City, thru Nederland is open all the way to highway 7 and is in good condition. Some pot holes and realatively minor road damage. Lots of construction traffic and heavier traffic then normal.

Highway 7 at Peak to Peak is closed to Lyons and open to Estes Park.
