Road Quality:
|
|
Good,
winding, highway, mostly two lanes with moderate traffic
and speed limits mostly at 55 or below (some 65). Lots of
climbs and descents, some straight stretches few and far
in between. Beware of windy days, making rides more difficult.

Written directions:
From
Morrison, CO (southwest outskirts of
Denver just west of C470), head west on
Route 74 to Evergreen. In Evergreen take
a left toward Conifer on Hwy 73, and in
Conifer, turn onto US 285 South. Follow
that about 60 miles to Fairplay, and at
the light in town hang a right onto Route
9 toward Breckenridge - beware of speed
traps and go 25 MPH. After a few hundred
feet, you find the Brown Burro Cafe (is
this in Brekenridge or just after you turn
on route 9???) on the right, a favorite
Breakfast and lunch spot - after lunch,
stroll through old South Park City, yes,
that is South Park!!!. At this point you
reverse directions and head back on the
same path. However, if you liking what you've
seen so far and want more, continue on toward
Buena Vista on Hwy 285 South, for another
30 miles for more scenery.
