Motorcycle Roadmap

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.

Just an update on CONDITIONS in the southwestern part of the state (keep in mind this report is my perspective was from a car):

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.
