This was one of two for me. I was visiting near Winter Park, CO (USA) and got to explore the dirt roads. Not many people or cars. Peaceful and great scenery. Very fun and wonderful weather. Got to try out using my new SP Connect phone mount + OSMAnd for navigation. Can recommend for sure.

Let’s see pics or hear stories from your rides, folks. Where did you ride? What amazing things did you see?

    I followed this, except on the way back, I stuck to the right and went back the way I came on 343 instead of taking 344 over to 306 early as I wanted to avoid the pavement as much as possible (there was a lot more traffic than I was expecting). I parked in town, but if you wanted to avoid the paved road completely, it looked like you could park on some pull-outs on 343.

        I switched over to Ride with GPS for the most part (my activity there still syncs over to Strava), but I grabbed the route files from here: https://ridewithgps.com/users/171708

        How was the WP area? I thought their rides up there looked really nice. I’ll have to try one soon.

          Thanks. I’ll check that out.

          Great, that St. Louis Creek Rd is great – flat, straight and a slight incline, but among the trees most of the time. A couple of rude truck drivers, but well…
