    Anyone free to ride during the week?

    I have a couple routes I want to run to check off some more passes. One up around Estes Park, other is out thru Black Canyon and the NW of Grand Junction.. and one more S to do Hwy 17 and then Taos area.

    Figured I would check for interest... looking at last week of July or 1st week in Aug. (or both)

    All will be 2 day rides, 350-450 miles a day, moderate to spirited pace depending on the road.

    I was going to try and do something for a weekend ride, but looks like mine are filled up with to-do's.

    I may combine all the North passes into a 3-day ride instead, knock them all out.

    I'm interested in NW passes but it would have to be Friday/Sat or Sun/Mon. Let me know if that works?

    Re: Anyone free to ride during the week?

    Looks like its going to be a 3-day, Aug 1-3
    Stay in Walden and Fruita
    Check off Milner, Cameron, Willow Creek, Rabbit Ears, Gore, Wind River, Muddy and Douglas passes, as well as Rim Rock Rd, Black Canyon, Grand Mesa and whatever other twisty little roads I can find in-between.
    There are a few other passes along the way but I have already hit them prior, so they don't count... LOL.

    That will leave me with 2 last ones to do down South on SH 17. 43 total paved and named.

    When you take rabbit ears to steamboat, go south 131 to oak creek and take 20mile coal mine rd-it connect back to 40 before Hayden. You can thank me later.

    Cool thanks... I am going down to hit 134 anyhow, then back up 131, so thats an easy jog.......

    ***edit***

    Committed to Aug 1-3, rooms reserved. Have an extra bed if someone decides to tag along. If anyone wants to meet up along the route for a day let me know.

    Day 1 https://goo.gl/maps/JCyapZZNyzM2 (I may adjust and head up thru Deckers)
    Day 2 https://goo.gl/maps/PFHMzceH5812 (may add to this)

    Day 1- good long day. Good thing you're doing on a weekday.
    Day 2- the only couple roads I'd possibly check out is the one going south of Hayden where it loops back to your route. And then another one is a little out of the way, South on hwy 13 and west on road 5 to White City. Don't know the conditions or whether they are fully paved but look pretty windy.
    Day 3- pure awesomeness.

    I may go down and do Rim Rock on afternoon of second day, depending on what I find along the way... Dinosaur Park is just up the road as well so may warrant a little jog
