Re: [emrat:10696] Long ride this weekend?

I try to do very little on week ends. Mid week is my plan.

David, I don't know if you're familiar with it, but Deals' Gap is a zoo nowadays.  Unless you just want to experience the mayhem on a given weekend, it's not really a good ride - too many cops and other traffic.  If you are serious about wanting to ride it, try to be there just after dawn on a weekday.  

If you can get a clean run, though, it's amazing.  I was lucky enough to live a couple hours from there,, way back before everyone knew about it :)

Yes. It is in Cincy. Planning on Tail of Dragon and Blue Ridge in July or August.

I will do my best to be there at 0830 or earlier. I will be riding a Ducati. My Triumph is in Ohio preparing for the blue ridge park way.

Since we'll be heading West I like a West side location for the start.  How about the gas station that's on the NW corner of the intersection of CO 93 and I-70 Exit 259?  I think it's a Conoco but not sure.  

As this is going to be a long ride I want to be kickstands up at 0830 (that's 8:30 AM for you civilians. ;)  )  

For Lunch I think we'll be in Buena Vista.  Anyone know of a good spot there?  

Those who want a more direct return route can elect to stay on US 285 after Buena Vista which should cut about an hour off the return trip (barring traffic.)  

From Woodland Park I like to take 67 to Deckers and then all the way up to Nighthawk Hill (the Twin Cedars or Sprucewood route) and then on to Sedalia.  If there's anyone adventurous enough to join me I may take that route (it requires going on a 3 mile dirt road with a moderately steep uphill - but I've done it on every heavy bike I've owned and never had a problem) or if I don't get any takers, we'll just stay on paved CR 126 through Buffalo Creek to Pine Junction on 285 and then back.   

Total distance shows as ~ 290 miles and figure on a full day.  We'd be going over 2 11,000+' passes (Loveland and Fremont.)

Doesn't this count as the first Sunday ride? I think that you've got your ride leader Manny!

If my wife hikes on Saturday this weekend, count me in for Sunday.  It's her weekend to pick, tho, since I was out for four days last weekend :)

Anyone up for a long ride (200+ miles) this Sunday 7/1?  I was thinking maybe riding to Loveland Pass, then on US 6 to Silverthorne, get back on the interstate to Copper Mountain and take Highway 9 to Leadville, then down to Buena Vista, then US 24 over Wilkerson Pass to Woodland Park, and finally back to Denver on CO 67 through Deckers.   Google Maps shows it as being just under 300 miles.  

Weather looks good, cooler with a slight chance of rain.  Should be a great day to be in the mountains! 

Let me know!
