RAA 9 June 2014 Colorado head count

[HELBOY]

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.

That could work for us...Thanks

I am pissed off... Had MRI this morning busted shoulder potential surgery might not make the ride... Will see what Dr suggest...

Lots of rest. Heal well. I hope you heal fast so we can meet you there.

Yeah man, what he said!!!

Hope things work out.

Get the surgery done ASAP.
You have time enough to heal and ride . . . if it's a rotator cuff.
Another option;
Put the sucker in R3Tex's rolling Arc and ride around Montrose with us.

Changed day ride proposal
It has been pointed out by The Ride Nazi that my Crested Butte ride involves 30 miles of dirt.
While some have no problem with dirt, others prefer not to go there. I have revised the ride into 186 miles.
A 65 mile ride to scenic Gunnison for a break then 79 miles to Hotchkiss for another break finished with a 42 mile sprint back to Montrose.
Should be about a 4 to 5 hour run. http://binged.it/1hjNLqe
Check it out - comments welcome.
Apologies for my mistake,
1olbull

I've done dirt on the Rocket, but 30 miles might be a bit much...
