Well done, ride Nazi!
You even got the Lizard in there!
I think we are getting this thing narrowed down.
Only problem I see is we have four awesome rides and not enough days - at least for me. I look forward to he "Hang time" with folks on Monday and don't plan on much riding except to the cigar and liquor stores. Is Pkes Peak open Monday the 30th after the race? I may have to consider a little extension.

Fred, we want to be at the Pikes Peak gate @ 9 am on Sunday June 22.

More info here

Logistically you have several options...

1. Leave trailer rig in Co Sprgs...ride to Pikes Peak & Mt Evans & when we go to Idaho Springs for the night, you would have to ride back to Co Sprgs (99 miles about 93 min. ride time)

Then go to Montrose from Co Sprgs on Mon.

2. Leave trailer rig in Co Sprgs...ride to Pikes Pike & back to get trailer rig...reload bike and drive to Idaho Springs (the fast way), leave trailer rig at the motel there...unload bike again & rendezvous with us (riding the slow way) and then you will be riding with us to Mt Evans & back to the motel in Idaho Springs.

Then go to Montrose from Idaho Springs on Mon.

I have compared rt times & this would work. (Helboy, it would work for you as well.)

I will add a map to this post shortly to explain the details.............



1. red-round trip to Pikes Peak
2. dark blue-reload bike on trailer & bikes will be on the same route here
3. split-green bikes, light blue trailer to Idaho Springs, then ride bike back to rendezvous point (red flag)
4. finish ride to Mt Evans & back to motel together.

NOTE: #3...there is not much difference in time here...if we throw in a quick lunch/fuel break, you may be waiting for us.

Thanks for mapping this out Og. Do you have a hotel reservation in Idaho Springs or are you just winging it ?

Not to worry Dave I had 4 surgeries on my shoulder none of which took more then a month or so for me to not listen to the doctor and ride. In fact I found that if I did not bring it up he did not have any negativity about me riding. Of course I road nicely to protect myself

PS make sure you follow and listen to the directions of the rehab people it will come back faster that way. ANd pain Killers work well its why they prescribe them to ya!!!!!!
