Looks like a possibility for me. Where will you start? I could join up with you around 6 to 6:30 am around west I-70 and Colfax, Morrison, or Golden. Have you planned a possible route? I would definitely take my 1200RT, so I'm good for 300 miles between fill ups, although I doubt if my butt and stomach can last that long.

Subject: [emrat:4992] THE SUMMER SOLSTICE RIDE
I'm conjuring up a ride for Saturday, with the longest daytime of the year. This longest day ride would go from dawn to dusk, roughly 5:32 am to 8:31 pm. I tried this once a few years ago, but realized around noon that my rear tire tread was almost gone, so I rode home from Carbondale without accomplishing my mission.
Basically, I want to put on as many miles and bag as many mountain passes as possible in the 15 hours of daylight, returning home before dark (within 1/2 hour of sunset). The ride will be fast-paced, with minimal stops of limited duration for bike fuel and body fuel. Weather looks cooperative for Saturday. Sounds fun, eh?
Who's in?
