    THANK YOU all for your input on this......

    The Colorado location is closer to many more great rides then the other locations that we were considering and the average daily temp is around 85 degrees. Several of restaurants to chose from.


    WEST of the Mississippi location ....

    Super 8 Cortez, Colorado. Call 970-235-2553 ask for Chris

    There is a Block of rooms for us under the name "F6B Riders"

    Wednesday August 22nd through August 26th, the room rates are $60 plus tax = $65.54

    The 4 nights combined ---> $262.16

    The group rate will be locked until July 1st 2018, after July first you will be paying much higher rates (if there are rooms available).


    WillTill's CONVOY ...... from Cortez to Cherokee departs Sunday 8-26 (details to follow)


    EAST of the Mississippi location ....

    Microtel Cherokee, North Carolina. Call 828-497-7800 ask for Emily

    There is a Block of rooms for us under the name "FB Riders" their computer would not take "F6B"

    Wednesday August 29th and Thursday August 30th, the room rates are $59 plus 13.9% tax = $67.20
    Friday August 31st and Saturday September 1st, the room rates are $89 plus 13.9% tax = $101.37

    The 4 nights combined ---> $296 plus 41.10 tax = $337.10

    The group rate will be locked until July 1st, after July first you will also be paying much higher rates (if there are rooms available). It is Labor Day weekend and our Goal is to be heading Home Sunday morning

    That is even closer to me...I like it. I will be coming from the left coast through LV and up to St George UT where a right turn and a great ride from St George UT. to Cortez CO. for about 350 miles, a ride through some of the most scenic sites in the west.

    So it is not Grand Junction, Colorado? Instead it is Cortez, Colorado?

    Correct, was not able to iron out the details and get the prices down enough, that's why I had not posted the hotels that I was in negotiation with. They have a large Annual Peach Festival that weekend in Grand Junction and rooms are at a Premium. A couple of members from that area had mentioned that if we headed South, the temps would be cooler and we would be closer to more possible routes that everyone will enjoy. So we reached out to Hotels in Durango and Cortez. Spoke with 4 managers and .... Super 8 in Cortez is now our BASE camp. Super 8 rooms were remodeled this year (2017) and the front office/ guest area is to be remodeled this winter.

    Great part of the country. Mesa Verde Nat. Park. Million Dollar HI way, Canyons Of The Ancients, Telluride, all close. A little farther North is Gunnison National Forest and Hwy 92. On my bucket list so if I make it I will do it before or during if a ride is going that far north.

    F6Bster in for Cortez

    I plan to be in Cortez to do some hanging out and riding. Will arrive Wed afternoon but will need to leave on Saturday, so will be able to join in on rides on Thursday and Friday.

    I like staying at Hampton Inns, but This great rate at the Super 8 is too good to pass up. Thanks Phantom!

    I hope to do

    I hope to do this ride with Will .
    I am going to be in my 70s and will need the strength of the young bloods to keep
    me in the saddle.
    Have been riding since 1965 and I feel this ride will be a good topper..
