Re: [emrat:12404] First Sunday Ride 8/2/20 update:

I did. I got a 2017 with 12500 miles. Finally got it licensed this week. This COVID stuff makes life difficult to say the least. DMV requires an appointm but the website only lists the next 3 business days and rotates at midnight. I got on live at 12:06 AM and there were only 3 spots left for that new third day.

I'd do that. Since I live in Summit County, I'd meet the group at the Copper exit. There is a gas station on the left at the light at the Copper Mt Resort entrance. If you text me when you leave, I'll figure the time to meet and I'll be at the gas station conservatively. If your route takes you over Loveland Pass, I could meet you there too off I-70 before heading over the pass to Keystone.My number is...

[emrat:12401] First Sunday Ride 8/2/20 update:

So after thinking about it some more I've decided to trim back the First Sunday ride a little bit in the interest of getting more participation. I still want to do Independence Pass since I never rode it last year but I think what I'll do is ride I-70 to Copper Mountain and then Leadville, then Independence Pass all the way to Aspen, then fuel up, turn around and ride back East over the pass, turning South...

[emrat:12400] Montrose

Thanks Manny and everyone who worked to pull off such a fun weekend in Montrose. I really enjoyed the food the fun and the great riding. Always fun to chat with riders who know their stuff and see what works for them first hand. I always learn something new. Great 3 days! Vince ...

Re: [emrat:12399] First Sunday ride 8/2/20?

Thanks for the input Vince. I do know that Highway 24 has been getting worse and worse, especially on Sunday afternoons. So how about a slightly modified plan: I-70 all the way to Glenwood (yes, I know I-70 isn't much fun but it's a straight shot to Glenwood.) Then 82 through Aspen over Independence Pass Eastbound, then down through Buena Vista and over to Hartsel, where we can go down CO 9 to Guffey and...

Re: [emrat:12398] Great Rally

Hello all!I was sorry to see the lot of you only Friday and Saturday evenings, but I look forward to seeing you more, even if only through zoom! Sean and I missed riding with y'all, and were sorry to have not had an experience like Jim described so eloquently! Do let us know when that travelog book of yours is coming out!! I must admit I do not regret beating the heat on Sunday and literally taking a nap on the top of Grand Mesa...

Re: [emrat:12397] Great Rally

All credit for the event goes to Manny, I just picked up the pizzas. That said, thanks for another great weekend Manny and everyone who was able to attend. I missed many of our other friends but considering the circumstances it's completely understandable. I look forward to a better 2021.

Re: [emrat:12395] First Sunday ride 8/2/20?

Martin, Just to let you know I came across 24 yesterday (Sunday) coming back from Montrose. It took me close to 90 minutes to go the 20 or so miles from Lake George to 67 in Woodland Park. I probably hit Lake George around 2:15. 1st and 2nd gear only bumper to bumper. I didn't feel comfortable doing the shoulder like you can going up to the tunnel out of Silverthorne. Lots of rain may...

[emrat:12393] First Sunday ride 8/2/20?

Unless someone else wants to lead one, I'd be happy to lead the first Sunday ride on Sunday Aug 2. Since it's the middle of Summer and I want to take advantage of the long day and the nice weather and plan a nice, long ride. Tentative route would be a "figure 8." I-70 West to Copper Mountain, then CO 91 over Fremont Pass to Leadville, then US 24 out of Leadville to CO 82, then over Independence Pass,...

Re: [emrat:12392] Great Rally

Thanks to Manny and Steve for getting this setup during the confusion that seems to reign this year.After riding nearly nothing in 2019, I did 1169.2 miles between Friday and Monday. Bullet Bob led Jake and I down on Friday over Independence pass. Saturday was E-Steve, Jim B, Adam and I going to Telluride, Delorise, Durango and up the Million Dollar Highway. I found an interesting route through the back alleys of Durango...

[emrat:12391] Great Rally

Thanks Manny and Steve for organizing a great Montrose Rally. Food and refreshments were outstanding. Great to see all that attended and meet a few new ones besides.Weather was pretty good with just enough rain coming and going to make it interesting.If anyone is thinking about the Beartooth Rendezvous, let me know, I'll probably head up Wednesday August 12th, today is the last day for the cheaper registration...
