I rode Super Butte yesterday for the first time in months. This is the old exit just north of the Lorenzo Bridge on the east side. Due to the fortified closure of this intersection, my only option was to ride from the Menan-Lorenzo overpass to Thornton on the shoulder of Highway 20. With heavy afternoon traffic and abundant debris on the pavement, it was a long unpleasant transition. The Highway Department is in the process of closing the Bear World exit on the west side in a similar fashion.
Some of you signed Jeff's letter to the Highway Department petitioning them to make some provision for bicycles at these intersections. So far those pleas appear to have fallen on deaf ears.
