Re: [emrat:15600] Made it home

You young “Whippersnappers” don’t know what heat is. Why, back in my day…….
I forgot what I was going to say, but get off my lawn.

All,

Denise and I have made it home. Yesterday was a hot one in Nebraska as we saw 107F while riding through Arnold.

It was great to see everyone and enjoyed riding in mountains. Another great weekend, more thanks to Norm and Steve.

[emrat:15598] Givi XS307 for Vince

Vince

I found the tank bag. It is a Givi XS307 Xstream Tank Bag. I bought the tank bag and used it a few times and decided it was too big.

I spent 45 minutes looking for the tank mount before I realized I am still using the tank lock for the bag currently on my bike. You will need a Givi tank lock ring.

We can meet somewhere and I can give it to you or drop it off for you.

Cheers,

Al Miller

[emrat:15594] Re: Made it home

Home about 6 but I was not in any t hurry. Went over the scenic bypass stopped at all of the overlooks, had tacos in Oak Creek, rode through Kremmling, stopped in Granby for a root beer float and chatted with 3 girls about motorcycles, got drenched by a storm just past Granby, decided I didn't want to deal with 92 degrees and traffic on I70 and rode the 103 past Mt Blue Sky to Evergreen and on home.

Another great weekend, more thanks to Norm and Steve.

Cheers,
Al

[emrat:15577] Planning 3 day trip Sep 13 - 15

Hi, Rats.  I know many of you are in Meeker right now, so you may not get this until after you get home, but I wanted to get the info out as soon as I could.  

You may remember that back in April I was working on a week long motorcycle trip that would have taken me up through Idaho and Montana.  Obviously, my knee infection and subsequent hospitalization wrecked that but I am still planning on a multi-day trip this year so I'm posting this to see if anybody else is interested in going along.  

Dates will be 13 - 15 Sep, which is Sunday through Tuesday, which was a deliberate choice to travel on less busy days.  Tentative route would be:  

Day 1:  Pueblo > Buena Vista > Independence Pass > Grand Mesa > Delta (overnight.)  This should be the longest day at around 7 1/2 hours riding time but includes a lot of spectacular country (and those of you coming from Denver can shave at least an hour off this time.)  

Day 2:  Delta > Montrose > Durango via the Million Dollar Highway > Aztec > Cuba NM (Overnight.)  Looks like there's ONE hotel in Cuba but I've never been to that part of New Mexico and would like to see it.  

Day 3:  Cuba > Dulce via NM 537 > Chama > Cumbres Pass > Antonito > Pueblo via Walsenburg.  

Days 2 and 3 should be 5 - 6 hours riding time max, leaving plenty of time to stop for photos.  

Anyway, if anyone's interested in joining me, send me a message or email.  

Take care and have a great time in Meeker! 

Martin

If not, I will either take the route thru Estes Park (us34 to us40) if I can get a morning RMNP reservation, or I will take the northern route thru Walden.

[emrat:15572] Re: Any Friday rides planned?

Have looked at two options, 1. Loveland/Kremmling/Gore/20 Mile/SR-13 (250 mi) or 2. Loveland/Copper/Leadville/Tennessee-Minturn/131/20 Mile/SR-13 (290 mi).  Both from Launch Espresso, stands up around 9:30.  Will look are fire statuses in the a.m. to consider impacts on each, and will decide then.

Chris,

I would be up to meet with you somewhere north of Denver and ride over through Walden and on to Meeker. I wouldn't be able to leave Littleton until 8am at the earliest. That would put me up around I25 and hwy 392 about 915ish. I would defer to you for a meeting spot. 

My concern with Estes Park and through RMNP would be long lines to get in, and slow tourist traffic with a 35mph speed limit.

Does anyone know if the fires north of Rabbit Ears are causing traffic issues? The last report I saw was that they fires were still fairly small.


Cheers,

Al Miller

The Green Ridge fire is a few miles north of Yampa. It's currently at 45 acres.

Last year, Adam and I got to RMNP before the timed entry window. Of course, that meant we left Steamboat Springs around 05:00. Traffic in the park wasn't bad at that hour.

Personally, i would never ride RMNP in  th e summer due to traffic . Cheyenne to Walden is great if go over the Snowy Range which is what Bob is likely to do. WALXDEN THEN TO US 40 is good too

Tavis - at this point, I am leaning to meeting Bob and Denise in Cheyenne at 9am. It's a short ride for me and I haven't yet done the Cheyenne to Walden route. I was wanting to do RMNP, but I don't yet have a pass and there is the potential for long lines. I'm guessing lane filtering in this instance would be frowned upon. 🙂

I would be up for joining any of the groups, but I do worry about RMNP unless you get there early. 

I would prefer to avoid i70 if possible though so the northern route sounds like more what I am thinking.
