Now, that's a great location to take a ride to and ramble around for a few days.

Less than 1,500 miles one way on the interstates

I'm thinking we need to make this happen! We could travel together or find several in our "neck of the woods" and have a whole group go up at the same time.

Anyone in the SC Region or the SE part of the country would be going through Oklahoma more than likely.

This is a good thing. I always want to know where the hooch is located.... My wife promises everyone I am not a problem drinker and I'm not! It's only a problem when I run out and I'm still on vacation....!

I'm thinking I'm gonna go east to Missoula, then down 93 through Pocatello and on from there. I'll save the slab riding for the ride home....

I've seen elk all over Estes in the summer. Great place. I think the committee did a grand job with their choice!

Kris, that's a good strategy, I think.

There are 306 days from today to the first day of the rally. Or 10 months and 2 days as I type this. I'm marking my calendar but I cannot commit to something that is 10 months away from now. It's amazing how many members already booked their hotel room, wow...



CO is beautiful though and the Rockies and some of the roads that lead to CO are awesome


Cheers,


E.

But, But... I just got back from Estes Park last Friday night :)

Told the wife what I was just reading about and she said I am busy. Then she asked when is it LOL. Since I have taken 3 bike trips this year, she is done hearing about more for now.
