I habla, Amigo. It will be about 1400 miles for me to Ouray. That's why I think using Monday for R&R and for "get to know ya" and sud suckin' time would be good.
I have had better fortune with kicks up at 8 AM for rides around 400 miles. I be NO iron butt - I like my coffee and butt breaks every 120 or so miles.
With a large group, a short rider meet is important. The route should be laid out to everybody. If someone wishes to drop out for a photo or a piss - no problema, just catch up. The leader should insure there are no stragglers at EVERY turn off the current road. IF there are stragglers, we should stop and wait up. Stragglers should also be mindful of looking for us at the roadside in case we are on a break. If there are many, many participants (and I hope so) we should consider breaking up into groups of like ten riders grouped by riding speed preference. The previous guidelines would apply to each group as well.
I recommend Nolton leads the first day ride . . . and buys all the beer on Monday!
