If anyone coming in from the east on Wednesday would like to get together in the Colorado Springs area Wednesday morning to ride down to Cortez together, just let me know. I could also meet you along the route, say in Poncha Springs near Salida, if you wish.
Colorado Springs > Woodland Park > Hartsel > Buena Vista > Poncha Springs > Monarch Pass > Gunnison > Blue Mesa Reservoir > Lake City > Rio Grande River Valley > Creede > South Fork > Wolf Creek Pass > Pagosa Springs > Durango > Cortez ~435 miles
Is a great ride. Just post here if you want to join in.

Ill be coming in from Goodland, KS that day and our routes would intersect at South Fork on 160. Be too great of distances to coordinate a meet at South Fork but I'll keep an eye out for any F6B's to ride with the rest of the way into Cortez.

We have had several people volunteer to lead rides. We will post the additional rides next Monday. These additional escorted rides will all be limited to between 6 and 10 bikes. Signups for all rides will be when you get to Cortez.
I'm trying to figure out a way to meet you all in Cortez. The dragon has 53,000 miles on it and it would kinda be easy to get there from SoCal. Anyone else riding in from Southern California?

yes I am coming from the Fresno area. I will be leaving at midnight from Tulare will be in Barstow about five in the morning heading out Interstate 40 that will be on the august 22
F6bster has chosen some really great routes and I think the Lake City Rte is still a good ride for the rally. Leave early and limit the stops and it works for most riders. This is a fantastic road and one of the most beautiful rides in Colorado. Creede, North Clear Creek Falls, Slumgullion Pass and Lake City are all very unique and worth a little extra effort.
For those of you that haven't ridden The San Juan Mountains before these are some of the greatest motorcycle roads in the country. The distances are greater than other parts of the country but the country is so wide open and beautiful that you never want to stop riding.
Just my opinion but you will never forget these rides.
