Not really an "Event" per se, but just a callout to Colorado area riders who might want to get together for some easy dirt riding some time in the next few weeks.
I've been seeing reports that Shelf-Road and Phantom-Canyon road are free of ice and snow, and clear for riding (although that might change with the weather we're supposed to get this week)
I have weekends free, and was thinking of getting some Riders together for a nice loop from Colorado-Springs.
I can normally do either Saturday or Sunday.
Meeting-Place would be Rudy's Country-Store on Hwy-24
The basic Route would be:
*Old-Stage rd
*Shelf Rd
Lunch stop in Canon-City somewhere (yet to be determined)
*Skyline Drive for those that are interested
*Phantom Canyon rd
Then either return to CO-Springs on Old-Stage rd or take pavement (hwy-67 to Hwy-24) back to CO-Springs.
This is all easy, flat-graded dirt roads...............so if you are a beginner on dirt, there are no technical sections on this route.
Come join up if you want to try some easy dirt!
This won't be a fast-paced ride............Just want to get some Riders together for some fun, and some great Scenery.
I'll leave this open to any brand of ADV-Bike. (I invited my neighbor who rides a V-Strom)
I'll be riding down from Denver whichever morning we decide on, so I'll say:
Meetup time will be 9:00am at Rudy's.
Kickstands up around 9:30am give or take a few minutes.
I'll post up a map of the route here shortly.
There are also a couple places to bail-out along the route if you didn't want to ride ALL the dirt. (example: Return to CO-Springs via Hwy-115 from Canon-City, or bail-out at Cripple-Creek and head back via 67 and 24)
Post up here if you are interested in joining us!
I'll add the date once it's decided.
If there's some Denver area takers that want to ride down with me, I'll post up a meeting-place and time to gather before heading down to the Springs that morning.
Return to Denver area will either be Hwy-67 through Deckers and Sedalia, or possibly via Rampart Range rd if we're wanting to ride even more dirt. (if it's open........It's currently closed with no-access during "Mud-Season")
