all I talk to in Ouray rooms will be hard to come by on mon. the 23RD.as their is some bicycle thingy going on. really need to get head count and start reserving rooms. the Victorian would be my first choice (my own worthless opinion) then the hot springs. ridgeway north of Ouray by 30 min+/- may have rooms mon. night?as for rides mesa verde cliff dwellings west of mancos on hwy 160 pretty cool/4 corners ok if you want to say you've been there (nothing there but paved spot with white crossing line painted on ground)north of Ouray Gunnison/creede/pagosa beautiful ride if you want to drag the pegs and let it breathe most of the day

Well guys and gal I think I will be going to CO after all. My ex-wife and I got back together back in September and with me trying to help her get back on her feet (long story) I thought the finances wouldn't allow the trip to CO happen for me. However last week she packed her stuff and moved out. We was both miserable (long story). So with just me and my dog I hope to be able to afford to still go by the time this event rolls around IF the economy doesn't kill me at work.

I have always learned lessons the hard way and have never figured out why I have to let that happen. I guess my thick skull and small brain doesn't help matters any.

Anyways back to living again since I've gotten my wings back. I should never let a woman get between what I enjoy the most which is hanging and riding with my great friends. Heck I wish it was good riding weather as well as not so close to Christmas so I could get out of here and get things off my mind. I havent been to serene lately if you know what I mean. It is amazing the thoughts that goes through a mans head when he is heart broke, mad, tired, and depressed. I seem to never have these thoughts when I'm riding my bike and living life without controversy. lol

I'll keep a watch on this thread so I will know when to pack my stuff. If ya'll see that I might be missing out on the vital information about this trip will one of you please call, text, or PM me ........ THANKS!

Happy Holidays to all my great friends on here.[/quo


not to dampen your spirits but as wendy says a x is a x for a reason
it still stands if u want to crash at the house the night before we leave for CO it still stands and if need be we can split a room i"ll talk to wendy i"m pretty sure she wont mind

How about Grand Junction? Could do Moab as one of the day rides and be set up for the Mesa ride and for a 141/145 to Telluride and the million $ run.
A larger town would mean we at least get accommodations near each other if not in one place.
Dates are June 23 thru 27. I figure to arrive wherever we decide sometime on Sunday, June 22.
I know lodging is important; but, so is a somewhat central location IF we want to catch the best roads AND need to return to the same locale every day.
NOLTON,
Now that we have the dates (June 23rd through June 27th) - can you set up a vote thingy for choice of one home base every night or a traveling motel each evening?
I been working quite a bit on day ride routes from different one base locations. They all come out pretty long. A moving itinerary as originally suggested by Ogremeister and Nolton really would be better for seeing the best country and roads.
We need a room count for those coming! Noting how many double bed rooms you need is better than just saying 2 are coming.
