Nevadaville, Co
This is roughly what my ride looked like today. Trying to get my riding in before Friday, May 20th, when we have a 100% chance of snow.
I went up Oh My God Road, aka Virginia Canyon. This road, in and of itself, is breath-taking. Old abandoned wooden buildings, quarries, and open mines. Looking south, you see Mount Evans, and several other snow-covered mountain peaks. At the summit, you'll find the ghost town of Russel Gulch. Then, I continued down to Nevadaville exit, and head up to Nevadaville, CO, another ghost town.
Then, I took another loop I think I've only done once before maybe - I went up Roy Smith Road. The map doesn't really show it going through, but it does sort of loop around and bring you back into the town of Russel Gulch via Ray Smith Road, if you can believe it.
Loop back around through Nevadaville again, then to Bald Mountain Cemetery, and up Bald Mountain Lane to Pisgah Lake Road (277) down to York Gulch Road (277) then down Fall River Road and home.
