Jim, I'd like to be Kickstands up at the Conoco in Morrison by 8:30, which would put us into Woodland Park at 10:00, give or take a few minutes. Let's meet at the Alta Convenience store at the intersection of CO 67 and US 24.

Martin, I'm in Colorado Springs and would enjoy riding down with you. What time would I need to be in Woodland Park to hook up with you guys?

Sara and I will likely not be able to break away early enough in the AM to join you. But Chappy's in Westcliffe has some pretty good food and is just past the intersection of Main and 3rd on the right.- SeanSent from my iPadMartin,I did that route the opposite direction on the way home from TnT several years ago. Highly recommended as it is far more scenic and fun than the direct route. I can't recall any specific eateries in Westcliffe but there are definitely some options.Ride safely and have a great time everyone.TKManaging Partner of Raising Two Kids LLC----Hi, everyone. I've offered to lead the ride down to Taos on Friday, and I'd like to get a tentative headcount as to who might ride along.Rather than taking the straight-down-US-285 route I'd like to take a less direct but more fun set of roads. Tentatively my plan would take us to Pine Junction, then down CO 126 to Deckers/Woodland Park, then US 24 and Twin Rocks Road, down through High Park and ending up at CO-9 and US 50 near Royal Gorge, From there, West to Texas Creek, then South on CO 69 through Westcliffe and Rye, and into Walsenburg, where we'd pick up US 160 West over La Veta Pass and into Fort Garland, and from there South on CO-159 through San Luis, and NM 522 into Taos.Google Maps gives me a distance of 350 miles and a riding time of 6:41. The halfway point would be in Westcliffe so if anyone knows of any good restaurants there I'd like to hear them (I haven't been through Westcliffe in at least a decade or more.)If that route sounds too ambitious to some, I'm open to suggestions but I would point out that the most direct route - US 285 from Denver all the way to Tres Piedras and then US 64 to Taos - is only 50 miles and 1 1/2 hours shorter (292 miles/ 5:15.)Anyway, let me know if you plan on riding so I can make sure we don't leave anyone behind.Since not everybody is on the Google Group I'll post this on FB as well.Martin
