Since the mountains are still a bit crusty (just not warm enough for the shady spots) I thought I'd put up a nice ride through the Black Forest area from Parker and then over to Monument followed by some zig-zagging from over and around through Castle Rock (not much detail to keep off prying eyes). Route to be discussed in detail at Micky D's. But, I'll be throwing in a couple of new roads that some of you haven't been on.
What much of the terrain will look like. WOW, some twisties that aren't in the foothills.
This will be about a three hour ride with just short stops for gas (eat something before we take off) and then you'll be back in Parker around 3 pm.
Weather: Mid 50's, Dry
Roads: Clean and paved entire route
Depart: 11:20 AM (no waits for lates)--So arrive early to hear route, grab coffee, etc.
Location: McDonald's on the southeast corner of Parker Rd. and Main Street in Parker, Colorado. This is just about a mile or so south of Lincoln Ave and Parker Rd.
Route: As generally described above
Pace: As you make it
