    That would be headed up from Idaho Springs (southbound) to Echo Lake. Just before the twisties start. Just up to the right you can see Bob smiling and unloading a case of Enzyte.

    The real question is, "How many times has that sign been stolen?" Ha. Your bike parked so close is incriminating evidence.
