RAA 9 June 2014 Ouray, Colorado Week ?

[skydog1000]

Montros.co is 35 miles away Durango.co is 70 miles away. From what I under stand we are wanting to ride out from Ouray.co. I guess we need to figure out if we want a home place every night of a different place every night if all of our rides start from Ouray.co then we need to be close to Ouray.co

Ouray is on the way to Montrose from Durango or the same going the other way all rides do not have to go out of Ouray all the rides bull have layed out go from Montrose. my opinion for what its worth is Montrose is not very friendly or a place I would not want to stay in after riding the distance some of you are traveling(to much concrete ,glass,people)granted it is closer t I70interstate,rides bull layed out are great rides if you plan it right you can almost do all those in 2 days if you spend night in another spot one night.suggest checking out gand canyon(although a good long ride for one day 2 days easy rideplus time to see)mesa verde indian ruins.maybe be a pain if you need reservations in a different spot every night theres also telluride /cortez/ ridgeway/ lonewolflodge.com got some 3/2/1 bedroom cabins she said between them and next door (bear paw)has room for everyone HOW MANY ANYWAYS IVE BEEN GUESSING 25 TO 30 ?LIKE I SAID EALIER I AM SPENDING THE WEEKEND IN OURAY I live close by do all these rides 5 to 6 times a year what can I do for you ?always Durango mountain resort.com.also plenty of different accomidation packages

Breeze,
I chose Montrose only for its central locale to all the rides. It is better located than Ouray considering the length of all the day rides.

Everybody,
Personally, I would prefer a moving RAA after meeting at Ouray. I have been doing some more work on this.

ride 1 - Ouray to Hotchkiss http://binged.it/1diEgmx
ride 2 - Hotchkiss to Glenwood Springs http://binged.it/KoFq9r
ride 3 - Glenwood Springs to Powderhorn http://binged.it/KoFEx6
[URL='http://binged.it/KoFq9r']ride 4 - Powderhorn to Ouray [URL='http://binged.it/KoFJ3V']http://binged.it/KoFJ3V[/URL][/URL]
[URL='http://binged.it/KoFq9r']
[URL='http://binged.it/KoFq9r'][URL='http://binged.it/KoFq9r'][URL='http://binged.it/KoFq9r']All locations have adequate lodging for our group and for sure IF we plan and reserve ahead. Note that the four rides start and end with Ouray. Folks not wishing to do so much riding could pick and choose which rides to do and join up with the caravan at the appropriate town.

I am looking forward to this, I have a friend from England that is going to come over and either buy a bike or take one of mine and come along. Another friend may ride up from Texas. Be nice to him, he rides a Harley, I think.
I think the logistics of a rolling ride might be tough, that's a lot of accommodations for a lot of people. And some may like a day of rest or 2 after riding all the way across the country to get there.

I will also have a guest, my uncle is flying from San Jose to Tulsa and will be riding my harley, just so your friend don't feel out of place

The dates are set but I think those that know the area should pick the central location. Calling and dropping in on hotel prospects would be helpful. Mom and pop hotels would be good too. Staying at a different location every night poses too many problems.

Please be sure to explain that this is a bike thing without the biker persona and ask for group rates !!

One of these days, if I ever get to retire, I'd love to join in on one of these rallies. You guys sound like you have so much fun . . . . .

Many of us are not retired or wealthy. We just save up vacation time and money to make it happen. You could just leave a few days early and meet up with someone headed that way. We would love for you to join.
