    Welcome to Colorado! You really can't go wrong with any of the roads in Summit county, aside from I70. Head south over Hoosier pass out of Breckendridge for a good intro to mountain passes. Have fun!

    The route is nice, but you are going to want to avoid Boulder at all cost due to the marathon.
