Cortez CO Rally, 2018

[F6Bster]

Rick,

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.

We are needing volunteers to lead rides and help with the Rally in Cortez.

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.
