Here's the route you can use on a bicycle according to the town of Black Hawk and
here's an article from 2013 on the post ban issue. I'm not sure if the route that Black Hawk stipulates is still in effect.
Frankly, I avoid Black Hawk/Central City. I haven't been anywhere close to them since gambling was authorized in 1991. I certainly wouldn't spend any money or time in Black Hawk.
I'm with you. I used to go up there just about every year from when I was a small child until they brought the gambling. Drove around up there recently and it's just sad now. However if I'm ever on a bicycle trip that forces me to go through there, thanks for the links
