One More Week!
Another week, and it's back to God's Country!
I don't think I'll ever NOT get excited about coming back to Colorado, even if it's only for a week. See ya'll next weekend in Ridgeway! ![]() |

Hey, Flagstaff isn't all that bad. You should have grown up in West Texas. You would appreciate Phoenix after that.

Re: One More Week!
If I remember right it is about 340 miles from where I am. I did it in 6 hours, but that was hauling ass in an XJ.

Re: One More Week!
It will pull 75 up through the tunnel with no problems. I tend to go I-70 to Copper Mountain, then south to HWY 50 and across through Gunnison. It may be a bit shorter but it is definately less boring than I-70 to Grand Junction then south.
I've thought about doing 285 from Denver, but there is a lot of civilization that way and a lot of traffic lights/speed limits/cops. That is slow. You need to ride with Grant. We did Loveland to Farmington in about 6 hours in his supercharged Cooper Mini.

Re: One More Week!
BillR,
I agree. Getting back to God's Country is the high point of my Summers. I use to live in Boulder many years ago. 36 miles to Rocky Mountain National Park. Man, was that great! Michel |

Re: One More Week!
I got an awesome suprise last night. I thought I was going to miss the Sunday run because my son was backpacking in CA and was not going to be back until late Saturday evening. Last night at about 3am, HE SHOWED UP! WOO HOO!
I'm Colorado-bound tomorrow morning! I'll be in Ouray for all 3 days! ![]() ![]() |
