2018 Rally Location ---> POLL

[Phantom]

The MONTROSE location is a Old former Motel6

The reviews are NOT good and the rates are too high for such a low quality Hotel. This former Motel 6 was not our first choice from the beginning, but had availability, it was selected by default. Ranks at the bottom of reviews.
The better hotels in the area are much higher and cannot accommodate our group size.

Grand Junction is where we found much BETTER Hotels that can accommodate our group with more amenities.
We strongly suggest that those of you that have booked at Montrose, cancel your reservations. We found a great hotel (still working out the details for our F6B Riders) with much better reviews for about the same rate or slightly less $$$ for just a single queen. All afternoon events will be held in a privately reserved room.

SO just block off the same dates on your calendar and be patient, its still TOO early. We already have local F6B Riders planning our rides departing from Grand Junction. It is a very convenient meeting place just off I-10

I'm sure Phantom meant just off I-70 not I-10.

Cool. I read that other post where you stated you were working on a location that was "Top 3 in Montrose", but it must not have been the same place.

Years ago, when I rode a VTX, I went to the Coloradical, which was put on by the Colorado VTX riders, (Big Larry may have gone to one or two). We stayed at the La Quinta in Lakewood, CO; a western suburb of Denver. Great spot, close to as much riding as one would ever want, and not as far for the Eastern F6B folks as Grand Junction. Just throwing it out there...

That is even closer to me...I like it. I will be coming from the left coast through LV and up to St George UT where a right turn and a great ride from St George UT. to Cortez CO. for about 350 miles, a ride through some of the most scenic sites in the west.

So it is not Grand Junction, Colorado? Instead it is Cortez, Colorado?

Correct, was not able to iron out the details and get the prices down enough, that's why I had not posted the hotels that I was in negotiation with. They have a large Annual Peach Festival that weekend in Grand Junction and rooms are at a Premium. A couple of members from that area had mentioned that if we headed South, the temps would be cooler and we would be closer to more possible routes that everyone will enjoy. So we reached out to Hotels in Durango and Cortez. Spoke with 4 managers and .... Super 8 in Cortez is now our BASE camp. Super 8 rooms were remodeled this year (2017) and the front office/ guest area is to be remodeled this winter.

Great part of the country. Mesa Verde Nat. Park. Million Dollar HI way, Canyons Of The Ancients, Telluride, all close. A little farther North is Gunnison National Forest and Hwy 92. On my bucket list so if I make it I will do it before or during if a ride is going that far north.
