Does any one have a good route that they know of to Bishop's Castle other than just taking 25? I want to go down there this saturday.

I've been looking at riding 285 all the way down to Canon City via 50, stopping in Royal Gorge. Then just take 67->96->165.
Definitely an early stater and an all dayer.

Are those road all clear? Who has a good road report?
Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change...
Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.
Great dual sport route. Shelf Road is part of the Phantom Canyon loop from Cripple Creek, and both are packed dirt/gravel, IIRC.Originally Posted by salsashark

^^ What he said!
I was shooting from the hip on a route we took a couple of years ago. All I remember was heading through Cripple Creek, then heading down some great 2 laners, eventually spitting out on 50... maybe it was highway 9 with a connection with CC...
Sorry, bit foggy but a great ride.

Be careful on CO RD11 ran into 2 state troopers yesturday. 58 in and 35. Its a high fatally rate on that road so there is no way they will let you off with a warning. Trust me I got the ticket for proof.
