Consistently fastest route is 119 to airport road in Longmont, north to 9th (airport ends) jog right over to hover, take that north past 66 until it ends, right on yellowstone rd, then left (north) on 287, left on Taft (CR 17) before you get to Loveland, and follow that all the way to FoCo - You end up on Shields in Fort Collins.

Typically takes 50-55 minutes from Baseline/Foothills to my house at College/Horsetooth when taking that route. I-25 always takes longer, it's almost 15 miles longer to go that way... And there's a bunch of idiots on that road, always.

Sounded so good I made a quick map:

Chris, might I suggest you take this route: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&sour...,0.264187&z=13

you miss Hover street (avg speed: 20mph) and take some back roads through Hygiene (avg speed: 50mph) instead, and then blast over on 66.

That is the way I take, except I just go straight across 66, i don't use 66 at all.

Thanks for the help, if I don't get lost it sounds like it will be less then an hour.

Google says that route is supposed to take 1 hr 40 min

I have taken that route as well, Hygiene sucks to drive through, feels like a place a dick cop would hide. And I'm only on Hover for 2 blocks, well beyond when it really sucks. But either way works.

[fsmtnbiker]

Woops, take 17th, not 9th in Longmont.

This is the same path I've taken for 3 years now, it's the fastest. BUT, it really depends on where in fort collins you're going... If you're going to need to end up on the east side of town, prolly take I-25... But I always take the route chris posted, exactly that route lol. The one with 17th like he just corrected.

[blefevre]

Going near 68th and S Lemay ave.

[Bishop]

Yeah take the route Chris posted / i take.

[blefevre]

Oh hello.

[Bimmerman325i]

Oh hello.

[wh00sh]

+1 on the M1.

Yep, it was on the ground to start but I was too busy drooling to take a picture!
