207 miles
4 hr 30 min ride time

Do you have these routes saved in a format that a Zumo 550 can use them?

 

[ROCKETHEAD]

shopping for a trailer to pull behind the R3R... to hold my camping gear, grill and keg or two for after ride refreshments...

Very cool and welcome, HELBOY & ROCKETHEAD. We now have cracked 50 personas. Tendremos una gran fiesta!

I had some conversation on Ogre's RAA Getting High thread for the easterners and though I'd share my response regarding ride options.
Take a look and see what, if any, you like.

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.

Yes, but I only know how to send them via email.

I am still refining the rts but if you want what them now I can send...definitely can send final versions later.

I wish I had the time to do it - the wife and I are heading for Europe for a couple of weeks a few weeks later.

Do NOT let my wife read this post!!!
My wife wishes to go to Spain again to celebrate her birthday, 35 years after we did so for her 30th.
It is on June 6th and I will not have the time to do this ride if we go to Spain.
SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
