I've run most everything around here: 7, 34, coal creek, golden gate (bottom half is among my local favorite), p2p, both sides of squaw + others.
Am I missing anything? I'd like some new places to check out.
What/where are your favorite curves around here?
I live near boulder, so for me its 7, lefthand and golden gate. But if you want to go looking for new places, I plan out of state trip before the end of summer and if anybody want to come with me to the state border line, it would be cool. maybe you find something you missed near by.
I live in Littleton, so all my favs are south of I70...Bear Creek, Deer Creek, N/S Turkey Creek, Indian Hills, High Grade. Also just recently discovered Foxton and Hilldale Pines. Although, like most of the state, the tar snakes are getting out of hand. Deer Creek has always been a fav, but it lost a bit with this year's tar snaking.

Highway 14 between Fort Collins and Walden is awesome. It is like 7, but it lasts for over an hour. It has everything from 100+mph sweepers to tight twisties. For the most part the road was in great condition too.

agree with jkol 14 is great , my fav is squaw pass up to echo lake , there is allot down south out of moco , allot of people like deckers (find it boring my self) but i feel you im really getting bored need to explore more
ill have to get out on this, im right off of hwy125 should be a good out and back for me.Originally Posted by JKOL
front range is boring, full of traffic, and worse yet... full of cops.
Get out and explore a bit. There are some amazing roads in this state, but you got to pay to play. Put in the seat time and head west. You won't be disappointed.
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.
Absolutely. HWY 149 is one example of a great road. Also HWY 92, 133, 82.....

Thanks to ABATE, Ninja, and Spiderman, your questions have been answered.
IMO all the best roads in CO are west of the continental divide, with the exception of one loop out by Byers.
When life throws you curves, aim for the apex

Another +1 for 14 (Poudre Canyon). It's such a fun road and I can ride the for an hour while seeing 3 other cars.
I'm not sure what condition it's in now after the fires though.
The best roads are those less traveled. 133 between Pionia and Carbondale (aka McClure Pass) is like Highway 7 but last for 45 miles.
Black Canyon is one of my favorites.
"If not us, who? If not now, when?"
These two yahoo's know what's up.
I'll be on the Grand Mesa and Million Dollar HWY this weekend!
I rode through there last Thursday. It's in good shape. The west end has a lot of tar snakes though.
To the OP, get a copy of this:

The author is on the board and I'm sure will chime in shortly...

The laws of necessity, of self- preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation.
