Choptop,
F6Bster is right on with his advice and your route is very solid. His advice about riding from Twin Lakes to Aspen over Independence Pass is very good, that is a great ride and the pavement is good. As you get closer to Aspen the road becomes narrow so watch out for cages. Also I would advise topping off with gas in Gillette because it is 115 miles to Douglas with no gas.
Looking good

Funny story, spent more time and frustration getting google map to get me from Leadville to Aspen, wasn't happening till I noticed that that road is closedOriginally Posted by Az Wingrider
from Oct - May and that must mean Google won't let me plot a route threw Independence pass at this time. Thanks for the heads up on the road and the gas !

New route has me heading SW from Sturgis on 85, and then over to Laramie. I will gas up as much as I can. Have a lot more reading and info gathering to do !Funny story, spent more time and frustration getting google map to get me from Leadville to Aspen, wasn't happening till I noticed that that road is closed

Good morning, Chop. Enjoy that ride, but be sure to bring some warm clothes! Most likely a bit of snow in the peaks. My ride thru the Beartooth pass, last June, was miserable. 35 degrees, sleet, snow, and high crosswinds. Hope you don't have that stuff.
If you do ride Independence Pass be sure to check out the Aspen Airport on the west side of town. I have never seen so many private jets in one place in my life. They will be parked on the field wing tip to wing tip, It is amazing the amount of money in that small resort town.
Might be some rich old lady w/a bad
