[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
