Yo fellas, looks like the weather is finally gonna break. We need to try and get together for a little spin. Would have posted this earlier in the week and tried for this weekend, but was in Salt Lake most of the week. Let's see if we can get something set up to get us all together. Most of you guys are up around the Metro area, I think, with me in the springs and Art down in Telluride.
Let's try to get together sometime soon
What do you guys think?

Any word on a ride this weekend? I can probably go on Saturday and definitely a sunday afternoon ride.
I also started a thread on the AMA Superbike race May 21- 23,
Hopefully everyone can make it.

Sounds great to me but i have to paint my house this weekend---Oh joy!!!
But we should hook up soon!!
Has anyone done the ride where you take 5 passes in a day? I know the Hardley guys up here do it, and could figure out the route if anyone wants to get together and try it out. I'm not sure how long it is, but it sounds like fun. I'll have to see if I can find out the route details.
Sound interesting?

reean, welcome to the board. we need to take couple of pics of your bike & post it here.
C'mon already with the map BusaBoy
Easy there hotrod!C'mon already with the map BusaBoy
Will get an atlas out and see what kind of route we can traverse (big word for an old country boy huh?
Sounds like most of you guys are going to get together this Sunday. Sorry I will not be able to make it as I will be out of town
On a different note, how does this sound for a nice mountain day ride?
Starting out around the Metro Area, take the I-70 west for about 36 miles.
Get on Hwy 6 and take the back way to Silverthorne/Dillon. Will take us over Loveland Pass (11,992 ft.)
Back on 70 (west)at Silverthorne for about 10 miles and get onto Hwy 91 (south) Will take us over Fremont Pass (11,318 ft.) down to Leadville. Probably a good spot for a break and maybe eat there.
From Leadville, Take Hwy 24 north back to I-70 (Vail). This will traverse Tennessee Pass (10,424 ft.)
From Vail head east on 70 and take Vail Pass (10,666 ft.) That takes over 4 mountain passes with at least 10k ft elevation.
From here we can take 70 east to Frisco. Then take Hwy 9 south through Breck (maybe stop again) to Fairplay. Between Breck and Fairplay is Hoosier Pass (11,541 ft.)
In Fairplay, we hit the 285 and head back north towards the Metro area on 285 there is Red Hill Pass, (which is only 9,993 ft. so I guess really don't count if we're only counting 10k+ passes) and Kenosha Pass (10,001 ft.
)
That's 6 10k+ ft passes in a day All in all, I figure about 300-325 miles for you guys in the Metro area. A little farther for antone south of there.
Anyways, take a look at a map and tell me what you think. Like I said, I will be out of town next weekend, but it sounds like a decent ride. We should get together and try it out. If anyone has ridden up there and knows a different route, then pipe up.
Let me know.

Well looks like I'm out on another trip......from 7/16 thru 7/27 and again from 8/10 thru 8/14 (though this one is for fun....finally
) Maybe we can set it for the 3rd or 4th weekend in August and I can hope nothing else pops up. How do your schedules look around then so far?
