Someone in LCF needs to get from Denver to Loveland on his bike. I couldn't come up with anything decent for him. "back in the day" I would ride 287 from Niwot to Loveland. No way in hell would I try that now. I've ridden from Boulder to Loveland in the last couple of years and it involved 119, 36, 66, before finally getting some backroads.
That's funny... last fall my wife and I rode from Longmont to Loveland and back... straight up 287. No problem at all. I fail to see where you might have an issue with it.... The road had nice, wide shoulders all the way, we never got buzzed, honked at... nothing.
