Az Wingrider,
Thanks for all the advice. I'll be certain to check out your suggestions and take some of the routes. I'm glad I'll have enough time to add a few extra rides. I've never ridden Utah and all the routes I have planned in CO, along with the ones you suggested, will also be new to me. I've ridden the mountains of CO in April before, just not these particular routes... And it's been probably 4 years or so.
I know I'm a little early in the season and am hopeful for clear roads and good weather. I've taken a few trips in similar weather circumstances and just try to prepare as best I can. I'm a big believer in heated gear. I have a heated jacket liner, heated socks, and heated glove liners (although I don't often wear the heated glove liners and rely on heated grips and good gloves). I also splurged on the heated option on my Russell seat (best money I ever spent was on that seat).
I hope the weather cooperates...
