Google maps says 5.5 hours?? Might be a little too much time on that day assuming we start at 9:30

Unless something changes drastically in the next 24 hours, I'm in.
Grand Lake/Estes Park forecasts are calling for mostly sunny skies with highs near 70 with only a 10% chance of precip. That sounds doable to me, even if the ride into G-town is a bit chilly.

I rarely think of motorcycles without a little yearning. They are about moving, and humans, I think, yearn to move – it’s in our cells, in our desires. We quiet our babies with cyclic movement, and we quiet ourselves by going.

Weather is warming up nicely today. If tomorrow is anything like this then I'm a definite go.
Tomorrow's weather is calling for even warmer temps (you can thank today's warm-up for that)!

The weather is warming up, I have been watching the mountain weather and I am concerned with the shady spots up in the mountains and as well it has gone from possible rain in Estes to thunderstorm in area.. most are watching the weather. I am considering canceling and letting all do their own ride, I dont want to feel the guilt if someone goes down.
Where are you seeing storm clouds or thunderstorms for the area? Looking at Estes, Granby, and RMNP on weather.com I see 0% chance for tomorrow. Not a radar but that's the best I've got...

Almost every mountain ride all summer has a risk of thunderstorms. I think most people are well aware of this and know how to deal with it, if it happens. I agree that the forecast is about as good as one could ever hope for in RMNP. Let's stick with the plan. I will be there regardless.

I just checked the weather again, still calling for no rain and upper 60's in Grand Lake and Estes Park. You worry too much, Kerry...it's gonna be a perfect day!

Holy shit!!! It's a ride and I'm not working or tied down with other crap...
I'm in too!
That's $10 per person...$20 for 2-up, not that there's ever anyone riding 2-up lately ;-)
