    Dual Sport Ride Colorado Springs

    Looking at a dual sport ride out of the Springs this Saturday or Sunday.
    Don't really know how many of you sportbikers cross ride onto street legal dirt. I have done this ride a few times this year and will eat up the better part of a day.Leave the Springs mid morning to let the hills warm up a bit.

    Head straight west up Old Stage to Gold Camp.

    Gold Camp into Victor and then over to Cripple Creek.

    Cripple Creek to Canyon City via Shelf Road.

    Lunch in Canyon City and then back up into Victor via Phantom Canyon Rd.

    Back down into C Springs the way we came in,Gold Camp/Old Stage Rd.

    My wife will be going so there is really nothing tough and or unusally challenging. Mostly graded dirt with a bit of asphalt. The aspens are about to start changing and this is more or less a scouting trip.

    Let me know. I know one rider has a new bike and we need to break it in proper.

    OK peeps, it looks like Saturday is the day.
    Meet @ the....

    Western Omlette
    16 South Walnut

    This is basicly Colorado and Walnut

    10:00 AM for some good greasy food
    11:00 AM wheels are roll'in.

    if you guys don't mind one little tough section
    we can roll over the tunnel on Gold Camp or
    go around to Old Stage Road. We can decide
    in the morning. See you suck'as then.


    Peace Bash

    The DR-z wants in, but this sounds like GS turf.

    Hey, this kind of post should be somewhere else. It's clearly not SoCO enough to be in Regional. It can't be Trips & Touring since it's not an overnighter. I have to argue against "carving" when it comes to dirt and especially if you're going to refer to it as a "scouting" dealie.

    Moderators! Move this thread immediately. It clearly belongs to another sector where people meet & mosey about in a social way.

    better yet... DUAL SPORT SCOUTING DEALIE SUB-FORUM NOW!

    PharmerKyle, you are such a rebel.
    This is an interesting thing though as it really
    has no place anywhere. I like your thinking on it's own forum.
    Lets take that one more and give it it's own web site.
    I move for a new site for this thread!

    Yes, clearly you need to post this on the FTA, MHM, RR and other forums.

    I will do my part by making a flyer to staple to my one emplyee that hangs out at the Shell. Gotta get the word out...

    Has Mental even answered this thing yet????

    I apologize if I'm speaking out of turn. I still need to get with my people on this.

    Soooooo, does that mean you are a lock for in?
    I went by your place of employment yesterday
    and the DRZ just looked pissed off out there by
    itself. No doubt it has a headache. It is not made
    of sugar though so it will not dissolve in the rain.
    I don't care what it keeps telling you.

    PMing Mental.

    Oh Krissy was sayin HELL NO!!!!! after she read this thread and asked Mr Bash "I'm goin???????"

    Seeing as how I have been on a self proclaimed strike around the house, Bash crossed the picket line last night and said he was going to do laundry which frankly scares the hell outta me so I am out for this adventure because I must reclaim my domestic side
    One time I got stopped for speeding on the Colordo Utah boarder
    and after a discussion with the Officer about Bannana's, pockets and glad tidings to all he let me off with a warning
    and a farewell of "I am always on this strech of highway and I will be watching for you."
    My response "I feel so much better knowing that you Officer Pennywise will be looking out for me."
    WAIT WHAT??!!!!!

    I am 90% on this one...bringing the DR, should be fun. Don't wait for me if I am not there. I hate waiting for that "one more guy should be here". What is the exit i need to take going southbound on I-25? I tried to map quest it and it didn't help at all. I am coming from Littleton if anyone from the Denver south wants to meet up and ride down together.

    You will need to get off @ the Bijou St. exit.
    Head west or right till you get to Spruce St.
    Head left or South and it will be on the right,
    just before you get to Colorado. See you then.
