Re: [emrat:13592] Morrison to Montrose

Enjoy and don't ride too dangerously!

This year I will be at Scout camp in Wyoming. 

Maybe next year...

Planned route: Morrison – Cottonwood Pass – Gunnison - Hwy 92 to Hotchkiss – Montrose

Google Maps says 6 hrs 15 min 292 miles
COTrip says detour on 285, we will have to go through Hartsel and a 12ft width restriction at Hotchkiss for about 1 mile.

My cell number is 720-323-three six three one if anyone needs it.

lol, Al, I just mentioned this in the other thread.  Whatever you guys decide, let me know where to meet you and when. I haven't done Independence yet this year, but Martin has. 

Cheers,

It doesn't look like anyone has posted a proposed route to Montrose.

We can meet 815 to 830, kickstands up at 845, Phillips 66, 16283 Morrison Rd, Morrison, CO 80465.

Here are the 3 options I am looking at:

1 – Morrison – Cottonwood Pass – Kebler Pass – Montrose

Google maps says 7 hrs 268 miles

We would need to keep an eye on the weather and watch for rain. MSN weather forecast for Friday at Kebler Pass is a high of 75 with a 2% chance of t-storms at 1pm, increasing to 57% at 4pm.

Depending on the bikes in the group, the gravel portion of Kebler pass may be an issue.

2 – Morrison – Cottonwood Pass – Gunnison - Hwy 92 to Hotchkiss – Montrose

Google Maps says 6 hrs 15 min 292 miles

With 50 closed west of the hwy 92, traffic on 92 could be an issue.

3- Morison - Independence Pass – Carbondale - Montrose

Google Maps says 6 ½ hrs 305 miles via Buena Vista or says 6 hrs 286 miles via I70.

Independence Pass to Carbondale is usually busy with traffic.

I will post this on Facebook.
