Come on Mike tell your boss you want a day or two off. I'm sure he'll give you the time off.
If your not going to make it we'll take lots of pics for you

You may see our group along the way... 7-8 leaving on Thursday. Two days on the way, the Sat/Sun there, then two days on the way back exploring the southern Utah canyonlands (a top five ride in the country). I suspect we'll see quite a few bikes the closer we get to SLC.

Do you mind posting the route your planning to take? Thanks.

I was just in SLC yesterday! Albiet for an hour waiting for my connecting flight back to the Springs. Sounds like fun, ditto on the route posting!

[chad23]

We plan on leaving friday morning. We're leaving out of ft.collins up hwy14 to hwy 40 out of walden, all the way to vernal utah. from there to SLC.
Might be meeting people in Steamboat, and in Vernal. If we make good time the guy we're meeting in Vernal, knows alternative twisty routes
From what bones tells me it should take 8-9 hrs

[Jason ON]

I've never biked over the SLC but the drive (granted, not on twisties) is about 8 hours no matter which way you take.

[Dirty Bones]

Okay, the superbike races in Tooele, UT are the weekend of May 30-June 1, we leave Friday May 30 (ridin of course) and arrive that evening (time depends on when we start and ridin conditions, figure 8-9 hours on the bike though), we will take Hwy 14 to Walden, over Rabbit Ears to Steamboat (Cameron and Rabbitt Ears will be cold), possibly meet other riders in Steamboat, probably eat in Steamboat,(this leg is about 3 hours following speed limits), then follow hwy 40 to Vernal, UT (again about 3 hours following speed limits, lots of towns in betweenfor those of you who can't stretch 180 miles out of a tank), then follow 40 to Park City, UT where we take I-80 into SLC (about 3 hours following speed limits again with another pass to go over here)...It;s about 6-7 hours if you take I-25 to I-80 and go to SLC, but that is boring (but will be alternate route depending on road conditions)...obviously we will shave a little time off of this since we usually clip along a little over the limits, and will lose time for gas stops and food stops, but it should all even out.....if we are making great time, we could revise this route to take advantage of more canyons, but there are plenty around SLC to ride also...quailifying Sat, Races Sunday, and we will leave Mon AM to come back.........looks like Cat and another will fly out, Who else is in fore sure? let me know!!!

[pauliep]

I imagine I would have to pack quite the backpack for such a trip. Wouldn't mind taking advantage of laying on the tank bag for a few hrs though. I'm up in the air about it, it sounds fun. What's the situation for hotels looking like?

[pauliep]

A friend I know out that way recommended the Red Lion in SLC (better then staying in Tooele), also saying it was close to "bars and stuff and doesn't have too steep a price."

[Dirty Bones]

alright, we are just a couple of weeks away from the trip to Miller Motorsports in Tooele, UT (Near Salt Lake City), a group of us have rented a six bedroom house, and are RIDING out to the FIM/AMA Superbike races...we still have room for a couple more to stay at the house, and everyone is welcome to ride along (might be a brisk pace at times LOL), we are riding out Friday May 30th in the AM from Loveland hoping to take HWY 14 up the Poudre, and HWY 40 through Steamboat and Vernal, UT as the primary route (this may change pending weather and such)...we have the house Friday, sat, and Sun nights, leaving on Mon am for the return trip home...house is fully furnished, and has a garage for bike storage...contact me (Kevin kdhovland@yahoo.com ) if you are interested in riding along and/or staying with us (the house will run us somewhere between $75-$100 a night for 3 nights ($225-$300 for weekend) depending on how many stay there)...hope to hear fom ya all soon....

[chad23]

just wanted to remind ya'll about this seeing how we're a week away.
world superbikes are tearing it up. don't miss it

[Jeffro]

I'll be there. We are leaving Wed for some rafting and Humvee fun in Moab with the family. Hope to see some CSC'ers there.....

[rlb454]

I will be there too, taking my boy. I am behind the 8 ball getting tix, but hope to be in the Grantsville stands (?) at the end of the main straight. Only about 4 hrs from Grand Junction, should be a blast!

Cheers
