Canyon Conditions

[Vellos]

Pleasant Park Rd. is gravel central. Every turn after the switchback.

Turkey Creek was pretty bad too.

New chip seal from Granby to Tabernash. They are still doing some work the first couple miles of Coal Creek (Hwy 72) on the east side….5 minute delay.

Squaw pass is gravel free east of echo lake, but the road is still all cracked. North of echo lake, watch out for leafers. They were all over the shoulder, and would dart across the road without looking to get pictures.

gotta get those pictures for the scrap book. Taking adv. of Colorado to the mildest of extremes....Funny, I get the same for people crossing cross walks. It says not to cross, but still do. Once I rev up a lil hard, they get scared and run.....

Boulder canyon is clean and clear, tons of people walking around at the usual places taking pictures of dead and/or dying leaves.

P2P from Nederland to the 72 dead-end is much of the same, some light gravel here and there.....mostly from people shooting dirt onto the asphalt while looking at more dead and/or dying leaves.

7 from 72 down into Lyons is clean and clear, no gravel that I saw or experienced....

Golden Gate relatively clear; still gravel on the new pavement on the bottom 1/2 mile or so, and a bit of gravel in one turn about 1/4 mile downhill from the Crawford Gulch turnoff. Other than that, looked clean and clear.

Coal Creek is clear except there seems to have been some oil spilled in the really twisty part. It's been there for a few weeks, so arguably not affecting traction, but I'm a wuss when I see something like that on the road so I can't really tell you how slippery it might be.

Top of Poudre Canyon, they must have just finished taring the cracks, cause it was REALLY squirrely going over them.

Stove Prairie was good for the most part, some cow poop here and there and a little gravel in a couple corners.

Tabeguache Canyon is ... pristine and fast! So is the Unaweep.

Switzerland Trail is full of fucking gravel. It's everywhere!

Boulder Canyon (Highway 119) just east of Nederland is having pavement cracks sealed with tar snakes, AKA gorilla snot. Dunno how far east that work will go...

Epic ride last Sunday. We went to Lyons and went left to Nederland, then South to Golden Gate. All was clean and fast. Lot's of picture takers though. We went to Dear Creek Canyon the previous Sunday and it was covered in Chat. Hated it!

Nice ride today. Started at Deer Creek to Turkey Creek, has gravel in some of the tighter turns and 1 small buck jumped the road... (Forgot the name of the route), But Shadow Mountain Rd. to Evergreen has some gravel at the top of the hill. Squaw Pass Rd to Echo Lake is clear except for the leafers, but dress warm. Echo Lake to Idaho Springs has some road work near the lake. It seems like the shoulders of the road might of been washed up on the road with rain. Some plows and dump trucks back and forth for about a mile from the lake.

Golden Gate was nice today too, and empty for the most part. Some trouble as I was coming back down to Golden….first responders, ambulance and CSP were headed up with lights. I saw a cruiser and dual sport riders with a car stopped by the side of the road but they didn’t seem to be in any distress.

+1 I did this route, for the most part, today as well... Gravel from the rain, and lots of CDOT dump trucks for some reason.
