    There is a section several miles long of dirt if memory serves.
    I've got more flavor than a packet of macaroni.

    Depends where you come from, the dirt route was an accident.

    It turns to dirt at the Sprucewood Inn if you're coming from 85.

    Not sure what you're trying to show. If you want to avoid it take 285 to Pine Junction and head down that way.

    That was kind of the plan to begin with. I guess I wasn't clear.

    Re: July 29th to Cripple Creek?

    Just FWIW, a suggestion in case it isn't already in the plans. A few miles before Cripple Creek, bail off (and out of the stream of gambling traffic) to the left/southeast for Victor at the high meadow former townsite of Gillett. This is the Lazy S Ranch Road or County 81. It is paved and will take you in sweeping and lonely fashion all the way to the authentic mining town of Victor only seven miles away. Real and not gambling town prettied up. BTW, at the top of the ascent, just before Victor, there is a sweet photo op (behind you), with penthouse views of Pikes Peak's shy southern sides. There is a closed road to the right for the pause if interest. In small downtown Victor, turn west on CO 67 for Cripple Creek five miles away. You will ride one of the funnest four mile stretches in the state.

    MAP. A picture really is worth a thousand words.
    Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.

    http://goo.gl/maps/jUJp If you wanted to go longer you can take a left on 24 and stay on it into Leadville and then either stay on 24 or run 91 into I-70.
