I got 22-24K in my front so half gone.I have an E07-Dakar on the front that has around 12,000 miles on it.
The rear is a Shinko E805 with around 5,000 miles on it.

Yeah, it seems the wear on the front tire has really slowed.I got 22-24K in my front so half gone.
Looks like a really awesome ride.At Downtown Cripple Creek.

Making my way home on Hwy-285, I got stuck in the typical Sunday "return to Denver" traffic.
It was bumper to bumper all the way from Fairplay to Denver! Really slowed my average way down for the day, and took me an extra hour and a half to get home.
Weather was perfect all day! Was an awesome day of riding!

Phantom canyon is a great mellow ride, watch out for cars around blind turns, there is free camping spots there, you should do shelf road also.No need for hardcore tire, you be fine with MetzlersLooks like a really awesome ride.
I am making my first trip to CO this August riding the Tenere. I am staying 1 night at Mueller State Park during the trip and I am interested in riding Phantom Canyon Road from Canon City up to Victor then 67 over to Cripple Creek then on to Mueller.
What is your opinion of Phantom Canyon Road?
Is this something I can do on a fully loaded Tenere with Metzler Tourance's.
In the video's I've seen the road looks maintained however I would like to hear from someone that has actually ridden this.
Thanks
We did it last year on the S10 but I had Shinko 804/805's however they were not needed you could probably do it on any tire. Really an awesome ride.Looks like a really awesome ride.

Thanks for the routesYes,
As the others have said, it is a mellow dirt road. I have ridden it a few times and the only thing you'd have to worry about is the occasional car or truck taking up more than their half of the road.
Make a loop using Old Stage Rd. and Shelf Road and you'll have an awesome day of riding from Canon City!

Great advice, I found Red Feature, nice area with trails/fire roads/county roads. Most fun was Buckhorn Rd at Masonville, CO up over White Mtn and back Poudre Canyon Rd. Incredible rideTry Red Feather lakes area
Looks nice but I don't think I will make it that far north on this trip.Great advice, I found Red Feature, nice area with trails/fire roads/county roads. Most fun was Buckhorn Rd at Masonville, CO up over White Mtn and back Poudre Canyon Rd. Incredible ride
Actually it's Hwy 135 out of Gunnison to Almont. It is paved all the way thru now.I do have another question.
Riding from Ouray to Mueller SP I'm thinking of taking 139 out of Gunnison across Cottonwood pass to Buena Vista. (139 to CR742 to CR209 to CR306)
Does anyone know if this is all paved?
Yes. I have that as part of my route.Hwy 50 along the Arkansas River is very scenic .
If you are riding that way into Canon-City, make sure you detour along "Skyline Drive" on your way into town.
It's a fantastic Hogs-back Ridge that gives you a great view down either side.
