FS/CR185 is a 2 wheel drive road that transitions into a four wheel drive road, and it runs through Aspen Ridge to CR 187. Part of CR185 is necessary for the popular Turret gravel road ride.
This historic ghost town gravel grinder from Salida features stunning Collegiate Peaks views, rolling terrain, and opportunities to explore abandoned mining remnants.
This is not singletrack. It is, however, a great ride for a cyclocross bike. The majority of the road is 2wd dirt and pretty smooth riding. As you get closer to Aspen Ridge the road gets rougher with roots, rocks and washouts. A bit of a stiff climb at the end for the cross bike but doable. A gorgeous ride in the fall when the Aspen are turning.
Fun ride. Good for the family, but not technical if that is what you are looking for.

| ThankAnother great gravel road ride, but I've only ridden the short County Road portion. I'm eager to check out the rest of this road!
