    Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change...
    Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
    Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.

    Here's a 400 mile (two day?) loop through the redrock canyons of western CO / eastern UT. From Grand Junction, head east on Rimrock Drive in the Colorado National Monument, and then through Fruita to Utah. At Cisco, get off the slab and follow the waters of the Colorado towards Moab; passing sights such as Castle Valley along UT 128.
    From Moab, head south on UT191. Turn east at UT 46. Leave the desert behind as you climb the LaSal Mtns. Re-enter Colorado on US90. Turn north at Naturita, taking 141 through Gateway.

    Return to Grand Junction at Whitewater (US50), or extend the ride with a loop over the Grand Mesa. Turn south to Delta, then north on 65 over the mesa. Rejoin I-70 near Palisade then back to Grand Junction.
    I'd been wanting to tackle that road south of Grand Junction but wasn't sure about road conditions as everything I ever found online said they were re-paving, or widening or something. Is that road in good repair?

    Re: Best Rides in the State: A google maps database

    If you want a really good path you can take 67 south (From Florence) south to Wetmore and take 96 to Westcliffe (as previously discussed) if you stay on 69 north it eventually turns into Hwy 50 (which takes you to Canon City)...it's a really great ride...kind of out of the way, I know, but it's a giant loop around Royal gorge territory. the best search for it is Texas Creek, I belive...

    There is a fund raiser ride every year for children's Cancer I believe and thats the run they do. Some of the most beautiful, undisturbed country you can find in Colorado...

    I'd be interested in hearing this as well. I could ride the bike up to work one hitch and do this ride instead of coming back home. =)
