    A great spot in the south of Colorado to base out of is Durango -- less than three hours to Moab, Utah from there too. Lots of great rides in the area. So much to see in the north, central and south areas of the state it's kinda impossible to pinpoint one central location to hit it all. Definitely would defer to forum members who know Colorado the best to make recommendations but had an amazing time there last summer. Can definitely attest that the main tourist spots (ski resort towns) are off-the-chart expensive and crowded in the summer (goes without saying) so places like Durango (or Longmont / Lakewood as also suggested) are solid options.

    riders out west

    Hi,

    I don't know the numbers and am too lazy to look, but there seem to be quite a few owners in the western half of the country. So I respectfully request that the powers in charge consider a destination that is not as far away as Kentucky of Tennessee, and consider perhaps something in the middle or even closer to the west coast like SLC or Colorado.

    Thanks,
    Pete

    Across the Mississippi once (barely), all in states that touch each other.

    Time to head West.

    I guess Arkansas is considered 'out west' to some...

    I would not have a problem with "out west" somewhere at this point... cause hurricane fallout doesn't occur out there...

    I'd take two weeks off and do a little touring while getting there.

    Gonna be a wee bit wet at the start of this current 2017 rally... bring some rain gear for a bit.

    How about PNW?

    Washington or Oregon would be nice.

    Successful people build each other up. They motivate, inspire and push each other. Unsuccessful people just hate, blame and complain.

    For those voters' who want an East Coast Rally, statistically their "previous attendance" of the East Coast Rallies should be factored into the equation.

    No doubt that the West Coast members are chomping at the bit...

    This is getting good!
