    good roads to ride this summer

    I’m looking for recommendation on good roads to ride this summer. I did the Morrison road to Evergreen and enjoyed the twisties very much. This will be my first summer riding a bike so I want to make sure I ride all the fun roads before the winter. My starting point will be the DTC area.

    If you ever find your way out in Boulder, try Highway 119. It's a great road with alot of good side branches.

    sounds like a great ride. How much time it will take to complete it?

    Depends on how well your right wrist is working.... You can do it with no stops; back in town by lunch.

    Oh and check out this website for roads all over Colorado. Some of the roads have comments by people who ride cruisers, so just be aware that not all will be twistie, but there are a lot in the Front Range area for you to have fun the whole summer.
