    There's not many roads that can glow a sportbike's brakes, but that one has potential!

    Makes me want to hit US40 from I-70 to Winter Park. Not nearly the same, but at least it's relatively close by.

    Re: Where is this?

    This road is considered for experts. I have taken that road many times in a car.

    It is about 40 minutes east of I-25. Once you are on I-40, it is about 5 miles in.

    This road is between I-70 and winter park.

    Which road? I thought Stelvio Pass was in the Italian Alps too?

    Re: Where is this?

    Moep was responding to my comment about Gotthard making me want to ride up to Berthoud Pass, not that Gotthard is here in CO.

    Berthoud Pass - As I said, not the same, but at least it's in a locale I can get to.

    Looks like a lot of fun until you get to Lake Ruby. I suppose that's not a bad place to turn around though.
