Greetings across the Rockies from a 'V7 850 Special' owner on the Western Slope. I have done a few rides in your area (Ft. Collins-Walden, Longmont-Estes Park), but I am always discouraged by Front Range traffic. My favorite riding area is Western Colorado-SE Utah, less traffic and better weather. If you ever want to explore this area, let me know and I can probably help with some route recommendations
