The Black Canyon Run - By BayouRed

My son, his wife, and I rode this one windy, wet afternoon in June. It was part of a multi-day Colorado mountain loop ride that began and ended in Denver. The rain started in earnest at the Blue Mesa reservoir and stopped when we arrived in Crawford. The road was slick, and when the wind wasn't blowing the rain kept visibility down to white knuckle squinting. I can't remember when I've had this much adrenaline pumping fun!!!

We were lucky in the fact that there was no traffic either way, as some of the curves ended being a little wider turn radius than planned for (I may not have been riding "good lines" while keeping the bike upright. I agree that starting in Crawford would afford you better views as you won't have to turn against traffic in the blind curves. I'll do that next ride.

If you get the oppertunity, don't pass it up.
