Hello Everyone,

 

Bob and Denise have issued their travel plan to Montrose, starting from Franktown and taking a southerly route.

 

I will be leading another group on an alternate route, leaving from Morrison Friday morning.  We will meet at the Conoco Station at the C-470/Morrison exit.  Kickstands up at 8:30. The detailed route is outlined below.  If you plan on riding with this group, please let me know.
