Cortez CO Rally, 2018

New updated information has been posted at beginning of this thread.

Thanks, Rick. Are the .gpx files ready for these trips? My old Zumo 550 has been acting up lately, and while I think I have it sorted out, I ordered a new 595 yesterday, and will have that mounted. Garmin doesn't publicize it, but they give a 30% discount to current owners of older devices, and I couldn't pass that up.

It looks like I'll be in Cortez Monday night, trailering in from Texas, and I'm going to pre run my route on Tuesday, just so I have it familiar. Wednesday, I'll do one of the others, so if anyone is in Cortez early, and wants to ride, I'll be at the Super 8; look for a white B and a white Toyota Tundra.

We will be there Tuesday afternoon. I am doing a Southwestern 7 day loop before Cortez and Teresa is flying into Denver and coming down with our oldest son.
We are planning on doing a ride on Wednesday after we pick up some extra chairs.

I've posted the maps that Rick sent to me to a folder in my Dropbox account.

Anyone that wants to can view and download those files. If you have maps you'd like me to store there, send them over to me in a PM, and I'll take care of it.

Even with the best laid plans, sometimes life just gets in the way. turns out I won't be able to attend the F6B West rally. Hopefully next time.

[RickW]

If anyone wants any specific items brought to Cortez let us know by Tuesday night. 8/7/18.
We will get it in the trailer before I leave with it on Wednesday morning.

I've added some maps that F6Bster sent over to the folder on Dropbox, both in .gpx and .pdf format. The link to the folder is above on this page, as well as in the original post on page 1.

The B is loaded for the trip to Cortez!

[RickW]

Made it to Cortez later on Tuesday. Route 160 is a pretty cool road coming across. Not as good with the truck and trailer. Left the Truck and Trailer in Cortez yesterday morning and rode down to the Painted Desert and Petrified Forest. One of our friends that helps us rode a Spyder out here, so I got our Spyder F3 out of the trailer to ride for the next few days. Going to be a Spyder Rider for the week.
Not the same, but still a lot of fun.
See you all next week.
