RE: [emrat:5012] THE SUMMER SOLSTICE RIDE

Dave, just who reminded you "of some other things that must be taken care of  prior to leaving."

Now for the bad news. I need to cancel the ride I was about to plan.  AAAAHHHHH!!

 

Sorry Jay, or anyone else that might have been interested. I have a work trip the next 2 weeks and was reminded of some other things that must be taken care of  prior to leaving. There's not enough time to get it all done these days.

Working is getting in the way of living. Again.

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.

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?
