Cortez CO Rally, 2018

[gadgeteer]

Anybody from the Dallas area going to Cortez?
I'll probably be leaving on the 22nd. Early start should put me there before dark.
I've done a lot of miles by myself but wouldn't mind some company.

Maurice the owner of MBL Innovations was at our Spyder Rally last weekend. He stated he would be sending us Riser's and Electronic Saddlebag door releases for us to give away as door prizes for both the Cortez and Cherokee Rallies.

Thanks to AZ Wingrider for letting me know that I had a mistake in my Lake City Ride. Sorry. I would have updated it earlier (it is now updated on the Cortez thread) but I was out on a trip and just got home last evening. In plotting my Lake City RTE ride I had stopped at Creede vs Lake City, so this changes that ride a lot and therefore it is probably too long of a day for most folks (but it would be a good Butt-Kicker/Taste of Colorado Ride). Maybe folks can hit it on the way to or from Cortez.

Update:
(1a) Lake City RTE -- Cortez > Durango > Pagosa Springs > Wolf Creek Pass > South ForK > Creede > Rio Grande River Valley > North Clear Creek Falls > Spring Creek Pass > Slumgullion Pass > Lake City (for lunch ) > Return in reverse direction (like a whole different ride/perspective) 436 miles
(1b) Lake City Loop (aka Taste of Colorado) -- Cortez > Rico > Telluride area > Dallas Divide > Ridgeway > Montrose > Blue Mesa Reservoir > Lake City > Slumgullion Pass > Spring Creek Pass > North Clear Creek Falls > Rio Grande River Valley > Creede > South Fork > Wolf Creek Pass > Pagosa Springs > Durango > Cortez (453 miles) [if via Million Dollar Highway, Silverton, Ouray would be 470 miles]
