It's my understanding that 1olbull is planning on leaving Montrose Friday then doing the rides on Saturday & not returning to Montrose...so you are still left with the trailer problem.

The reason for this pre-ride is because it is too far (for practical purposes) to do this from Montrose. Montrose-Pikes Peak & back is almost 500 miles & over 11 hours ride time (quickest way) & this doesn't include Mt Evans.

Any ways, for those that are interested in this pre-ride June 22,23...if I get a head count, I will contact motels & get some specifics for lodging.

Until that happens...tentatively, there are no specific lodgings set for this & the rendezvous points are these:

June 22, 9am @ the entry gate to Pikes Peak

June 23, 9am @ the Loveland Ski area parking lot just off I-70 exit #216

Ogre,
The first day would be to Manitou Springs (130 miles). The second to the Peak in the morning and onto Mt. Evans (131 miles). I agree that Friday - Saturday likely would be the best for us coming from the west that wish to do Pikes and Evans. I have no issue with returning to Montrose and would do so gladly if others wish it.

You are making a large part of this (Twin Lakes, Carbondale, Hotchkiss) sort of a traveling circus for those in the south and east, which I believe is best.

Us in the west must do something a tad different. I hope you all plan to arrive in time Monday evening for the BBQ. I would rate the ride priority as first: to Mesa and CO Nat Monument, http://binged.it/1jjPcFJ - second as Montrose to Gateway to Montrose, http://binged.it/1pfz8bU and third as over the Million Dollar, http://binged.it/1pfxt6h. Some may wish to use the Million Dollar for on the way home. I would also like to do this Montrose to Hotchkiss to Crested Butte to Montrose which you are planning to do on the way west. http://binged.it/1ff2XAL

So many cool rides - so few days!
I'm just tossing these rides out so that folks can check them out and determine what tickles their fancy.

I'm leaving Bradford, PA on Friday the 20th & riding to Warrenton, MO about 50 miles west of St Louis, MO...I have a buddy from FL that (tentatively) is going to rendezvous with me there. Even if he bails, thats 1/2 way to CO Springs for me...Will do the second half Sat...you are welcome to join up.
 
I can do that, I can leave after work on Friday and be at my sisters place Friday night. Then meet you in Warrenton, MO on Saturday morning, what time you heading out Saturday Morning? I know Warp is going to and he mentioned the route he was taking but I forgot... This way I get to see my family Friday night.

On the way back are you planning to stop in Warrenton again?
 

Ogre,
You be an IRON ASS fer sure, Amigo!
Damm near back to back 800 mile days!
I could do one of those days IF I rested the next - maybe!
My broken old bones SALUTE you!
