I had to continue the task of breaking in the new tires so yesterday's ride went up the canyons. I took off from the Morrison Conoco about 3:30 pm. The traffic was light except for the occasional school bus. The route was: Bear Creek, Hwy 74, from Morrison to Evergreen; then Hwy 73 to Conifer; under US 285 to Pleasant Park Road (which winds down that sharp canyon hill at High Grade Rd); then down Deer Creek Rd to Deer Creek Canyon Rd to SB Wadworth past Chatfield; crossing over to Titan Rd via Waterton and N. Rampart Rd.
Overall, the roads were in good condition mostly light sand. High Grade Road was medium to heavy sand. Wet spots were few and far between- however, an early morning jaunt may be met with an occasional patch of ice- especially on the east/west shaddy sections of the roads. Return time 5:15 or so and about 50 miles.
Ride safe,
Pilot
