Route 27 is a paved County Road that travels north between Route 34 (just outside of Loveland) and Route 14 (just west of Fort Collins). It can be ridden on just about any motorcycle but beginners should be cautious, blind turns / decreasing radius turns and some of them just after the crests of hills can catch riders off guard and as such this road is labeled intermediate.

The road stars off with pretty beat up pavement but as you get further north transitions to a nicer variety. With mostly local traffic this road is a hidden gem and quite fun to ride.
