    Rick,

    F6Bster has outlined what are probably the three best area rides that are around the 300 mile mark that you are wanting. One other possibility for those wanting to do less riding would be a trip to Mesa Verde National Park, it is very easy to spend the best part of the day seeing Mesa Verde. I am also familiar with the area and I will be available to lead or help out as needed. The San Juan Skyway and The Silver Thread (Lake City) are the ones I would prefer but I am flexible.

    See you in August

    To keep the groups smaller we might want to have 2 or 3 groups doing the same ride. Staggered start times or could do the San Juan Skyway counter-clockwise. Any of it works fir me. Be glad to be your tail gunner also.

    A day of Mesa Verde would be an awesome day. It is an amazing place!!!!

    We already thought about that and had emailed you before we saw your post. We have all the information and just need some more volunteers to lead small groups with the maps provided. We can email everyone.
    We also plan on a day at Mesa Verde. Anyone that would like to maybe lead one of the couple groups there let us know.
    Az Wingrider, we will be contacting you later today.

    Visited Mesa Verde back in May when we were on a bike trip. It is indeed an amazing place, the ruins are beyond spectacular.

    If you would like to lead a ride and have a route please contact us. The escorted rides should be no more then about 300 miles with appropriate stops and plans for lunch. There will need to be a person in the rear to assure the group stays together. The rides need to be at normal speeds (no excessive speeds), safety is a high priority.

    email us at valueacc@valueaccessories.net
    I can lead a group, where my Zumo leads, I will follow.

    Just sent you an email with pretty much this same info and also included PDF maps and directions from Basecamp.

    I can lead rides on Thursday and Friday, but I will be departing on Saturday morning. Know that whole area really well after years of riding all over SW Colorado many times. ​ I'll be staying at the Hampton Inn, but will hang at the Super 8 with everyone.​

    Also, I will be riding down on Wednesday 22nd from the Colorado Springs area, so if anyone is coming through and wants to ride from the Denver or Colorado Springs area, that would be great. If so, we'll figure out where to rendezous, but I will probably ride Woodland Park > Antero Junction > Buena Vista > Poncha Springs > DelNorte > South Fork > Wolf Creek Pass > Pagosa Springs > Cortez. But, if someone wants, I can change my routing plans to do other possibilities -- there are so many.

    Also, if anyone else in departing on Saturday, I'll be headed back to Colorado Springs via a route to be determined.

    ​Dave​

    • On Thursday: San Juan Skyway -- Cortez > Delores > Rico > Lizard Head Pass > Telluride > Dallas Divide > Ridgeway > Ouray > Silverton > Durango > Cortez 244 miles
    • On Friday: (1) 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) 336 miles
    • or
    • (2) Gateway Run -- Cortez > Dove Creek > Naturita > Flume Scenic VU > Delores River Canyon > Gateway > Delores River Canyon > Naturita > Norwood > San Miguel River Canyon > Placerville > Telluride (area) > Lizard Head Pass > Rico > Delores > Cortez 322 miles
    Do you have the actual files out of Basecamp?

    I'm still planning on going IF my new garage-man cave-workshop is finished in time. I'll know more in one more month if I can make it.

    No worries, I'm probably trailering. Haven't pulled the Kendon in 5 years, and the only thing worse than driving through West Texas is doing it in August... My Tundra gets crappy gas mileage, but the A/C is top notch!
