Here's my planned route:
http://www.mapquest.com/mq/2-dOpuNBgjjWTqdpzu
270 Miles per MapQuest all thought I may deviate if possible around I70.
This route calls for stopping off at the Morrison Conoco if the Northies would like to join us, we should be there around 11:30.
Town's we'll hit:
Colorado Springs > Deckers > Morrison > Idaho Springs > Silverthorne > Breckenridge > Hartsel > Woodland Park > Colorado Springs.
We could also do the reverse and come home through Deckers instead.
This route covers some beautiful Colorado country with some higher elevations (dress in layers, bring some warm weather gear).
The forecast calls for highs of 68 in Idaho Springs and Breckenridge; the two "cold" parts of the trip so winter gear should not be needed, but this is Colorado - come prepared.
This is a 5-6 hour ride with an hour for lunch factored in.
Times:
Meet up at Pikes Perk (8th street) @ 9:45ish - Roll out at 10:00 A.M. The address is: 1616 S 8th St, Colorado Springs, CO
Be fueled up and ready to go - show up earlier if you want breakfast.
We should arrive at the Morrison Conoco (16283 Morrison Rd, Morrison, CO) around 11:30 AM for any Northies that would like to join us.
Be back home in Colorado Springs by 4:00 PM, probably earlier - 5 PM at the latest.
We'll do lunch along the way, probably Silverthorne or Fairplay.
Interested? Want to meet up along the route? Post here or you can also call me at 719-201-9383.
