Need I say more?
I know this weekend there's a trip out to Utah, but if you're looking to take a long ride for a day and you're not going to Utah, then lemme know.

I'd love to make this ride but there's no way in Hell I'd make it up there that early.
(Planning on getting damaged Saturday night.)
Post up your expected route and maybe we can meet up somewhere points west.
Be assured that a walk through the ocean of most souls would scarcely get your feet wet.
I've got lots of friends further South of me, so I can change up the meeting spot to the Diamond Shamrock in Lyons and maybe push the start time to 10 a.m....but that's pushing it;-) It's a long ride.
So, here's a snapshot and it can change to meet the needs of the group...I can bend, just don't try to break me;-)
Trail Ridge to Grand Lake
Grand Lake to Granby
Granby to Kremmling
Kremmling through Gore Pass to Toponas
Toponas to Steamboat
Steamboat to Poudre Canyon
Like I said, it's a long-ass ride. We'll need to be a tad coordinated in that when one person stops for gas, we all get gas. If anyone wants to stop for a photo op, then it had better be a spectacular op...maybe a roadside historical marker or something. Oh and lunch will probably be a tad after the noon hour if we don't stop in Grand Lake for lunch.
How's that?

Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain."

No, the guy with the Dozer is gone now... All is well...

Then Poudre to Stove Prarie
Stove Prarie to Masonville
...or Stove to Rist.........why is there drool all over my desk?
Cuz you know you wanna do this!
Oh and Jeffy? Yeah, um just pretend you're in a far-off land far, far away as we wander through Grand Cty. Um, but on a somber note...were you given orders to stay out of there, or you just trying to stay away "just in case"?

Sure, but for me, it's not an "annual". I'm just a 30-minute ride away and when I want to really escape, that's the road I take...so, I'm up there as many as 4 times a month during the time that it's open.
I just thought I could use some company this Sunday. And who better to call on, than my pals here? :-)

Judge said if I get nailed for anything in the next year he'd make a point of reinstating the other 89 days he suspended on my sentence.
Two more weeks and it'll be a year.

skip a day of work and i'll wear you the hell out with our roads.

I think I will join ya! I will take it a lil bit easy saturday night and as long as there are no alarm malfunctions you can count me in. What time do you estimate we will be gettin back to the foco area?
Riding a sport bike is kind of like having sex... when its good, its really good and when its bad, its still pretty good.
I'll have to get back to you on that one. I haven't done the mileage yet. I may change up the meeting time/place as well, but give me a day, ok.

I'm in...oh never mindI'll be watching Haga kick ass at Miller
Only a biker knows why a dog sticks his head out of a car window.
Ha ha....whatever, Chad...but I hope you have fun and ride safe, k...cuz I'm gonna be dragging you out through the hills when you get back.
Ok, so here's what I have as far as mileage and timing is concerned.
Miles = ~330 with a Lyons starting point and a FoCo ending point
Time = be in Kremmling for lunch around 1 p.m. if we leave Lyons at 10 a.m. and be in FoCo around 7 p.m. at the very latest.
The route and timing can change depending on photo stops of course and how long lunch will take. I took a look at the sticky in the Canyon Carving section for places to eat in Kremmling and looks like no one has ever done that, so looks like we'll be the guinea pigs. I've checked google for restaurants and there's a few of them up and down hwy40 through the middle of town.
Hope that answers some questions.

I will have to let ya know for sure on saturday. There are several factors coming in to play. I have a friend moving in with me saturday, and if that happens then she may ride with me sunday but we will probabably turn around at lunch or something. If something comes up and she doesnt make it saturday, then I will probably do the whole ride. I will let ya know saturday though for sure!
