Looking for ride suggestions in Colorado

[Art Franz]

Hello fellow riders,
I’m heading to Colorado for a few days’ riding in the mountains, and I’m looking for suggestions for ‘must see/ride’ roads. I’ve been to Colorado a couple times before, but that never gets old.

Looking for paved roads only, twisties, scenic, altitude, in no specific order. And if anybody wants to accompany me, I won’t say no to that either.

Look at your map and pick any squiggly road west of I-25. Can't go wrong.

Definitely go through Colorado National Monument. There was "Tour of The Moon" section of Coors Classic Stage Race back in '80s. Scenery is spectacular! I camped out at top.

I like to route out from Montrose which is a nice central location to me.
The place I used to stay at is the Country Lodge -
