Title: Motorcycle Roadmap Post by: aerofaze on April 07, 2011, 08:28:43 AM This is awesome, just learned of this map today.
I believe this was sponsored by ABATE. The link below includes a color-coded map that indicates easy, moderate and difficult routes across Colorado so that riders can plan according to their skill level.

May 11: La Veta Pass (US160) had snow and hardpack on the roads. Slow-going. It was actively snowing that mid-morning. May 11: Wolf Creek Pass (US160) was wet with some snow patches. Low visibility due to snow and rain. Cold! May 13-14: Pagosa to Durango to Cortez was all clear and sunny. Good number of cruisers and sportbikes on US160 and US550. Saw a Ducati Monster rider in Durango! Looked like he lived in the area and was commuting home from work. May 14: Red Mountain Pass (US550/Million Dollar Hwy) was mostly clear with some sand/gravel on the edges around the sharper corners. Potholes in some areas. Actually saw a few bikes, especially in Silverton and Ouray. Most riders had on cold-weather gear as there was still plenty of snow piles off on the sides. May 15: Monarch Pass (US 50) was mostly clear on the west slopes. Wet on the east side. Watch out for sand & gravel in the corners. On the chilly side but we still saw a couple bikes make it over.
