    All over from 0 to 70+mph. Check into the MileHighRollers thread.

    My contribution - run up north to Fort Collins - New Belgium Brewery - screw the tour, just sit down and get them free samplers. On the drive up you can case the surrounding area at 75-80mph and see new subdivisions with fresh crete that needs your attention.


    Maybe we'll meet up on my next trip over.

    I'm living in downtown denver and have in the past for a while, I've found plenty of spots that are pretty fun but the main thing is that you're in for A LOT of pushing.
    Hit me up and I'll show you around

    Yeah, 35 miles north of Chicago on the border. I drive over at least once a year. Usually in the spring/late winter. I was just up there on the 1st/2nd. Look out for RodRod too. He's in Loveland, good kid er fine young man and you could probably stop and rip his hood on the way to the brewery... since he's on the way.

    There's a really sick spiral in a 4-story right down my street that's a sick surf the whole way down.
    There's a place my buddy and me call 4-corners, by REI next to the platte that has these really fun corners (4) and people love watching.
    Another place is a certain parking lot that has these HUGE drain shoots, they're real steep but actually pretty easy to bomb.
