RAA 9 June 2014 Colorado head count

[Triple Trouble]

Found this list of best roads to ride in USA. No idea where it comes from but we will do number 4 in June no doubt. I have only ridden a handful of them in the East and don't agree 100%, e.g. no. 3 is vastly overrated IMO.

15. Washington Route 129 and Oregon Route 3, Clarkston, Wash., to Enterprise, Ore.
14. Ohio Route 170, Calcutta to Poland.
13. California Route 58, McKittrick to Santa Margarita.
12. U.S. Route 33, Harrisonburg, Va., to Seneca Rocks, W.Va.
11. Natchez Trace, from Natchez, Miss., to Nashville, Tenn.
10. Angeles Crest Highway, California Route 2.
9. U.S. Route 12, Lolo Pass, Idaho and Montana.
8. California Route 36.
7. Cherohala Skyway, North Carolina and Tennessee.
6. Going to the Sun Road, Glacier National Park, Montana.
5. California Route 1, Pacific Coast Highway.
4. U.S. Route 550, from Ouray to Durango, Colo.
3. U.S. Route 129 -- The Tail of the Dragon -- on the North Carolina-Tennessee border.
2. Blue Ridge Parkway, North Carolina.
1. Beartooth Highway, Montana and Wyoming

TO rocket,
These are indeed interesting. I have ridden all except 14, 12 & 11.
I would for sure list them differently and add a few! Some good scenicroads lose points for excessive traffic and conjestion.
Here are my top 15 (bottom to top)!
6. Going to the Sun Road, Glacier National Park, Montana.
5. California Route 1, Pacific Coast Highway.
2. Blue Ridge Parkway, North Carolina.
Most all roads in the Spearfish, Deadwood & Sturgis South Dakota area.
Almost every road taken east or west off of the Blue Ridge Parkway.
The route I posted in #52
4. U.S. Route 550, from Ouray to Durango, Colo.
9. U.S. Route 12, Lolo Pass, Idaho and Montana.
15. Washington Route 129 and Oregon Route 3, Clarkston, Wash., to Enterprise, Ore.
13. California Route 58, McKittrick to Santa Margarita.
Most all ridge roads in NW Arkansas
10. Angeles Crest Highway, California Route 2.
Ortega Hwy CA route 74 from San Juan Capistrano to Lake Elsinore
8. California Route 36.
1. Beartooth Highway, Montana and Wyoming[/quote]
3. U.S. Route 129 -- The Tail of the Dragon -- on the North Carolina-Tennessee border.

We trust you on the daily rides. Fuel stops are the most important. Second are photo opps then smoke breaks then food.

Okey Dokey
Once we know how many riders we can workout the details, such as group size, frequency of rest stops, pace . . .
I shall also work on getting the day rides to a more manageable length.
So many great rides - so little time.

We trust you on the daily rides. Fuel stops are the most important. Second are photo opps then smoke breaks then food, then beaches with partially clad hot chics. (never hurts to try)
