The roads here are decent here in Colorado Springs and there is an extensive trail system that ranges from paved to packed dirt or gravel. You get the occasional pothole from the freeze/thaw cycle but it's not bad at all. Then again, I'm originally from New Orleans so my point of reference for what constitutes "bad" might be different than yours. There aren't any sink holes big enough to swallow a dump truck, no drug dealers on the corner hollering at me, and I'm not underwater so that's seems pretty good to me.
