I've got more flavor than a packet of macaroni.
I think I might try and head down there on Saturday at some point. I would enjoy watching the peach eating contest.
I spied a fresh batch of Palisade Peaches at Kings this am. No sign of RF Cantaloupes (yet)...
Quality Inn should be a decent place-- good price too.
I'm a sucker for the free cookie at Double Tree....

I'd go if I weren't slacking and running the Pikes Peak Ascent next Saturday. Stayed at the Quality Inn for the Peach Festival last time I rode there and it was decent.
Have fun and do the 5mi Peach Run for me!
'09 Duc Monster 696
'00 Suz SV650 (Dad's, garaged with mine)
I like mountains because they make me feel small.
If by do the 5mi Peach Run you mean eat peaches, drink beer, and watch other people run, then yes I will do the run for you.![]()

Cool. My plan for Saturday so far is to hit the peach pancake breakfast and then go run the Grand Mesa Byway, comeback and checkout the happenings.

Sorry Hey-Metz....for pulling out like a 16yr old getting his first slice of the peach cobbler.
FYI- there is no gas in gateway. Top off in Naturita.
On Hwy 65, off of I-70 until it goes south, is faaast sweepers. Then from the top of the Mesa going towards Cedaredge is d-lish! Nice long corners. If you feel like something technical, take the DeBeque cutoff-45 1/2 rd.

Might not be gas in the town of Gateway.... But there is gas at the Gateway Canyons Resort, right off the hwy141 on the southwest side of town.FYI- there is no gas in gateway. Top off in Naturita.
FYI: might want to change your route from Montrose to Gateway, the one you have posted includes a lot of dirt miles. (unless you like ridding dirt)
To skip the dirt, head south out of Montrose to Ridgeway. Take a right at the only stoplight and in 110 miles your in Gateway.
Thanks for the heads up! I didnt know that was a large portion of dirt road, I'll be rerouting.

You guys missed a hell of a ride! It took 11hrs and 500 miles. Some of the most scenic and fun roads I've ever been on. The roads close to Denver got nothing on the gems out here. I ran into the founder of VFRD at a gas station in Gunnison when he and two other VFR's pulled in as I was drinking some coffee. It was cool to chat him up a bit. Had another bird commit suicide into my hand as well.

Damn dude I never got a call or pm or anything. Sorry, that sucks. I was waiting to hear from you and thought maybe you decided not come. You shoulda come to the hotel and asked for me. Ahh well, glad you got sorted out.
