Estes Park to Buckhorn
Trying to plan a few rides for the Fort Collins area later this week ... Devil's Gulch from Estes through Glen Haven to US34 looks like great terrain, but is it generally safe to ride? Hard to judge how much traffic there is from Google earth, or how accommodating the drivers are likely to be to cyclists.
Also, once you make it to US34, looks like there is about a 9 mile stretch going east until you can turn off by the water treatment plant to get up to Buckhorn, and back around to town ... again, do most of the locals avoid riding on that stretch?
Just looking for another great route in addition to the apparently epic Rist Canyon loop.
TIA
