There isn't a bad motorcycle road in Colorado, I swear. Lots of good roads listed on the Internet...try a Google search. One of the good references is http://www.motorcyclecolorado.com/. There is a great book, The Complete Guide to Motorcycling Colorado by Steve Farson. Bultler maps has a good map, bundled with the Farson book if you wish. http://www.butlermaps.com/Motorcycle-Road-Maps/36/Colorado-Map-%26-Motorcycling-Colorado-Book. Any good road map of Colorado lists numerous desiganted scenic roads. Have a great ride!

That area has had a lot of wildfires so you may want to see if any of the places you are wanting to visit are open or closed.

Just be careful going to manitou springs. if it is raining they will have a lot of the roads closed because of flash flooding through highway 24 because of the fire they had. Otherwise there are few bad roads here in Colorado. be safe and have a good trip.

If you go to Cripple Creek, a warning regarding ST HWY 1 West out of Cripple Creek to complete loop back to 24. When we were in CO in June one of our group ended the trip with four nails in his rear tire. A local informed us, after the fact, that many local mines of the area move portable buildings on that road and the nails shake out of those buildings.

It's a great ride but has its risks.
