Here is a link to a slideshow of my entire trip. I put 1,200 miles over the 4th of july weekend across the CO western slope of south central mountains. Bagged a bunch of scenic roads. Might add a few roads and reviews soon.

I rode Hwy 141 in August, 2009. Great ride with lots of scenery and Black Bear. If you are traveling south on 141 look out for a water spring in a small grove of trees beside the road on the west side of the roadway just before the Montrose Co line. Good water to drink coming out off the side of the cliff. Be sure to stop at the Hanging Flume turnout to look down at the Delores River about 300 + feet below. I traveled on to Ouray and went over Red Mountain Pass on sleety roads - not for the faint of heart.

Took this route July 2009. Great road for cruisers--not too twisty, lots of sweeps, a handful of near-hairpins and great rolling terrain without steep grades. Vistas open up north of Deckers where the road straightens out a bit and you can relax and take in the panoramas. Definitely watch for gravel between Deckers and Woodland Park. Lots of camping areas just north of WP if you prefer to rough it. Last gas stop out of WP is convenience store on north side of town. Don't remember any between there and Pineview.Took this ride on a Thursday and came across very few bikes. Definitely worth the 500+ miles to get there.

Pavement is good to fair, but you do have to watch for sand buildup in the road. The scenery is absolutely stunning though, making me want to ride out there much more.

This road has a nice variety of scenic twisties and high speed sweepers. The pavement is good all the way.

I got the road to myself almost the entire way. It's not an exciting ride, to be honest. At least not if you're used to other local routes. The Hayman Fire Burn is pretty interesting in that most of the long route is littered with felled trees and bare trunks. It gives you a sense of how major hat fire was. There's also a nice section that rides next to the Platte River. I liked that it dumps you out near Manitou Springs, that's a neat little town.
