Thanks, everyone. Yes it was a great day to ride. We had 8 bikes on most of the ride and a couple more who joined us briefly at a rest stop in Bennett.
Not sure when we'll get another great day like this on a weekend, so it's nice to be able to take advantage of it.

----OK, looks like the ride is shaping up nicely! So to sum up, just to make sure everyone's on the same page:Main group will meet at the Conoco at Morrison Road and C-470 with a "kickstands up" time of 9:30, so those of you who plan on eating breakfast at the Cow or wherever, just make sure you're gassed up and ready to go at 9:30.We'll take C-470 and then Santa Fe all the way down to Founder's Parkway/I-25, cross over the interstate and continue East on CO 86 to Franktown where we'll meet Wayne and anyone else who's coming from the East side of town and doesn't want to go to Morrison. We'll be at the Shell at Franktown between 10:15 and 10:30.From there we'll continue East on 86 to Kiowa, then North to Bennett on the Kiowa/Bennett road, with a fuel stop in Bennett.From Bennett we'll continue North to Prospect Valley (CO 79) then East on CO 52 which curves North and hits I-76 at Wiggins.From Wiggins we'll pick up US 34 and head West towards Loveland, passing through Greeley and then turning South on I-25 at the Greeley exit, and then taking a short drive South on I-25 to exit 254 to Johnson's Corner for a late lunch.My thought is that once we get to Johnson's Corner, those that want to eat can do so, those that want to continue on or head home can do so as well. I will probably eat lunch and then take a leisurely route back to Englewood.I'm not going to take a head count so if you want to ride with us, be there on time or send me a text message at 303-482-7848.See you tomorrow and ride safe!Martin

Subject: [emrat:6237] High Plains ride this Sunday 1/18?
Anyone up for a moderately long (~200 mile) ride this Sunday? Weather looks to be good and I've got an itch to put some miles on.I'm thinking of a route that goes through Sedalia and Castle Rock, then through Elizabeth and Kiowa, then North to Bennett, all the way up to Wiggins, then West towards Loveland and finishing at Johnsons Corner near Johnstown.I'd like to go kickstands-up by about 9:30 and we. Let's meet at the Conoco at Morrison right off of Morrison Road and C-470, that should allow those of you who want to eat breakfast at the Blue Cow to do so (I generally prefer to eat a lighter breakfast and have a bigger lunch at the end of the ride.) For those who don't want to do the full 200 miles, there are plenty of opportunities to jump off when it suits you. If we leave at 9:30 we should be at Johnsons Corner by 2:00 pm or so (approximately 4 1/2 hours of riding, not counting time for stops.)If we start with full tanks we shouldn't have any issues with range. First fuel stop would be planned for Bennett, approximately 90 miles into the ride. Second (and last) fuel stop would be at Johnsons Corner, 105 miles from Bennett. There are numerous other gas stations along the route as well if we need to stop.One Caution: I have not ridden this complete route. The Kiowa/Bennett road used to have some long stretches of dirt. I just looked at it on Google Earth and both overhead and Street View seem to indicate that it is now paved the entire way from Kiowa to Bennett. If that is not the case or if there is snow/ice on the roads (there shouldn't be as it will be nearly 60 today and tomorrow) we'll have to adjust the route and the time a bit. If, for whatever reason, the Kiowa-Bennett road is not available, we would probably continue East to intersect with I-70 just West of Limon and then turn Northwest towards Deer Trail, jumping off the interstate at Deer Trail and taking CO 40 (old Route 40) and CO 36/Route 36 through Strasburg and Bennett.You can respond to this email or text me at 303-482-7848.Martin--
