Anybody interested in doing another one of these?

If so, I can lead on 8/23, 9/14 or 9/28.

I might try and shove my better half onto these.... Those are all the weekends I have my son. I'll see if I can get her comfy with the double nickel beforehand.
Cat and I could tag along on the 23rd

Just so you know, 36 from Lyons to Estes Park there is about a 1/2 mile of rough dirt road. It's not too bad, but hopefully it'll be paved by 8/23.
If not then going thru Hwy 7 to Estes is just as good. I'll try to make this ride.
Just so you know, 7 is and always been the best motorcycle route from Lyons to Estes Park, so I wouldn't worry about 36

This..... Just went up yesterday, however, was flooded with bicyclists, didn't know there was a race going on. Out of a few hours, got mayb 10 minutes or so of decent riding in. Either traffic from bicyclists, or there chase vehicles, or a cruiser doing 30 the entire way holding up massive traffic.
I rode P2P this weekend, and while everything is alright up to 7, 7 is nearly unrideable. Tons of traffic and the roads are extremely bumpy in a lot of the area where there's new road.
*Another note on the traffic - going up is an exercise in pure frustration. Pretty much a never ending stream of cages. Coming back down is only marginally better.
Yea there was a warning sign about a bicycle race on Sunday, wish I could've posted that sooner. I went on Saturday afternoon from Boulder to Estes and back, and the roads were pretty clear, no bicyclists at all. Weird, I guess they all were preparing for the Sunday ride lol.

It's not that bad...I just rode it a couple weeks ago. Yes there are a few corners that were fixed and repaved in a hurry and therefor not as good, but overall, it's still a good road.

Hwy 7 is actually good now, should be a good ride if there's no bicycle race going on
8/23 works for me.
If I'm not working I'm in for the 23rd. I'll know for sure as it gets closer.
So, things changed a bit... In the mean time I've moved up to Longmont for a few months... I would like to be able to go back to Longmont when we get back to Boulder. Anybody have a problem with this?

It'll be ok. I'll be going back to Westminster from Boulder.

Same start location? Just end in Boulder? That's fine with me.

I should be in for this
Are you limiting the number of riders that can go on this ride?
@justinyzfr6 - no limit. If we have to we'll split up the group with the people that show up... I have a back-up leader coming too, and since we'll be going nice and slow shouldn't be an issue...
Also folks, just checked the weather for the route, there is a huge change of rain, so bring your rain gear.. This is Colorado, and if you haven't ridden in the rain, you will, so come prepared with warmer layers and appropriate rain gear - maybe rainx your shield and anti-fog "cat crap" type stuff... If you have not the anti-fogging, you can have some of mine...
Warm gloves in a tank bag is not a bad idea either...
A reminder to all who will be attending... This is a legit newb ride, not Vellos type newb stuff... We will not be going more than 5mph over the limit, slow at intersections and such forth.... If you think this is too slow for you, it probably is... If you think you're the person always slowing down the group, or people are waiting on you, this is the PERFECT ride for you....
With that said, everybody of all skill levels are welcome to come, but I know what it's like to get frustrated on a group ride going to slow and want everybody to understand what's expected....
Otherwise I'll be there around 8am tomorrow morning if you want to shoot the shit before the ride...

Hope the rain isn't too bad. Basically forecasted for cloudy in the morning and lots of rain (including "heavy rain") in the afternoon.
Route suggestion: Why not take 7 from Lyons to Peak to Peak instead of going through Estes Park? Aren't they still doing construction on 34/36 to Estes Park? I was in Lyons on Monday and took 7 to Peak to Peak and they had signs advising not to go to Estes from Lyons due to road work.
