Castle Rock to Colorado Springs?
Needing to make the trip by bike in September and reversing in early October. Searching the archives, the google-recommended route of 83 is a resounding no, leaving as maybes 105 and I-25 and its frontage road. But none of my search results were written within the last 5 years. Around my parts, 5 years can make a huge difference....so, dear bikeforums is 105 doable these days or should we stick to the I-25 corridor?
If it matters to your recommendations we're flatlanders, but year round, northern climate bike commuters who have ridden interstate thru Arizona so I-25 doesn't scare us conceptually.
Thanks in advance for any inputs.

Yes, 105 is doable, but people do drive fast on the road. You can pick up the bike trail in Palmer Lake and ride it down to the Springs.
