What are the best driving roads in/near Boulder, CO?

We just moved from South FL and I want to drive some of these coveted mountain roads.

The problem right around Boulder is the traffic. You really will need to go further away from town to get clear roads.

If you head up the Canyon to Nederland, watch your speed right outside of Ned. The cops patrol that stretch like crazy.

Also, not in Boulder, but Poudre Canyon west of Ft. Collins is a "top 5" road in the state. That'll kill a Saturday morning and early afternoon just fine.

Blackhawk, Estes Park, or heck even go up Baseline past Chatauqua. Good views over Boulder, a lot of curves, but there is a lot of biking and running as well as your normal idiots driving on the road. But regardless, I like the drive.
