Just got back from a ride this morning. Oh - My - God! That was some of
the most gorgeous scenery I have ever seen! Took 119 from Boulder to
Nederland. 17 miles of winding road with a flowing rocky creek up about
3,000 ft to 8,000 ft, = or -. Then peak to see a lake with the town on the
opposite side. Beautiful. Took about 2 1/2 hours, mainly because I kept
stopping to take pictures.
Thanks for the info, and the tip about the winds on hwy 93. I heard there
were some winds to avoid around Boulder, but wasn't sure where. Glad I
don't have to find out the hard way!
