man i've spent a load of time climbing at red rocks. the loop road and
joining highway section is a great piece of road for cycling for both
the views and the low traffic (and the traffic that is there is crawling
generally). i just can't imagine somebody driving a cyclist down there
.... a very sad day :-(
