Edit - I didn't even think about Trail Ridge not being open. Durrr

Edited Route... No more CO-119 through Blackhawk... (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Broadway+%26+E+58th+Ave,+Denver,+Adams,+Colo rado+80216&daddr=CO-93%2FUS-6+to:39.919216,-105.36438+to:estes+park,+co+to:CO-66%2FE+Elkhorn+Ave%2FUS-34%2FUS-36+to:CO-66%2FE+Elkhorn+Ave%2FUS-34%2FUS-36+to:Lyons,+co+to:CO-7%2FS+St+Vrain+Dr+to:W+2nd+St%2FCO-72+to:US-36+E&hl=en&geocode=%3BFSKbXgId0ji6-Q%3B%3B%3BFREeaAIdwu-1-Q%3BFWoeaAIdW_C1-Q%3B%3BFeXlZAIdvcy2-Q%3BFc7HYQIdVQi2-Q%3BFUgUYQIdQ2G8-Q&mra=dme&mrcr=1,2&mrsp=2&sz=10&via=4,5&rtol=0,1,3,4,5,6,7,8,9&sll=39.781102,-105.144653&sspn=0.532956,1.112366&ie=UTF8&ll=40.050745,-105.095215&spn=1.061711,2.224731&z=9)

I'm also highly open to suggestions as to route...

Looking for intermediate+ riders.

Was thinking meet at 10am, but am definitely open to suggestions as I have nothing to do that day. The meet spot is A on both maps (58th and Broadway... Diamond Scamrock on the North-East corner of the intersection)

Who's down?:hump:

I don't think trail ridge rd (RMNP) is open. Usually not till after Memorial day (at least). Still to much snow there. Plus WP is still snowy too. I'm riding that day, I'll keep an eye on the thread and maybe hook up in Ned with ya. :dunno:

Trail Ridge road was not open on this past Saturday (3/14) and the Park Ranger said what you mentioned Sean, Memorial Day at the earliest.

Yeah, you definitely won't get over Trail Ridge this time of year. That's usually not open until Memorial Day.

I have the exact leathers as pictured above so does this mean that I should also brave suboptimal riding conditions now and again !?

I made a minor adjustment on our route. You can view it here (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Broadway+%26+E+58th+Ave,+Denver,+Adams,+Colo rado+80216&daddr=CO-93%2FUS-6+to:39.919216,-105.36438+to:estes+park,+co+to:CO-66%2FE+Elkhorn+Ave%2FUS-34%2FUS-36+to:CO-66%2FE+Elkhorn+Ave%2FUS-34%2FUS-36+to:Lyons,+co+to:CO-7%2FS+St+Vrain+Dr+to:W+2nd+St%2FCO-72+to:US-36+E&hl=en&geocode=%3BFSKbXgId0ji6-Q%3B%3B%3BFREeaAIdwu-1-Q%3BFWoeaAIdW_C1-Q%3B%3BFeXlZAIdvcy2-Q%3BFc7HYQIdVQi2-Q%3BFUgUYQIdQ2G8-Q&mra=dme&mrcr=1,2&mrsp=2&sz=10&via=4,5&rtol=0,1,3,4,5,6,7,8,9&sll=39.781102,-105.144653&sspn=0.532956,1.112366&ie=UTF8&ll=40.050745,-105.095215&spn=1.061711,2.224731&z=9). I also changed the link in the beginning. After reconsidering the amount of cops on US6/CO-119, figured Coal Creek would be a better ride.

:lol: yeah right!! That ride was so slow:turtle: my chicken strips are completely gone and Zachs tires are down to the steel belts...

The learning curve on that ride was serious! Excellent ride bros! And Will..you, my friend are a sleeper on that 500.

Zach929rr
Thu Mar 19th, 2009, 08:13 PM
Will is such a ridiculous sleeper on that 500 its seriously not funny...... :lol: Great ride sirs! Nice and slow.... the "lol" emoticon doesn't do justice to the smile that comment brought. I will tuck that route away in my ridebrary (did I seriously just make up that word?) I'll yell at Mo to join up over here too. Like I said, great!!! ride and I'll let both ya'll know what I want to do for Saturday. It will probably be down in the Littleton area... still meet up at 58th n I25.
