Steve; what's the weather going to look like? We are going far up. Like 2 miles or so. My bike might not start. How cold is it going to be?

Perhapd a 30° drop bottom to top. Not really a biggie. I was in shirt sleves and needed a jacket at the top.

Rick,
You will be above timberline which is about 11,000 feet asl relatively briefly coming out of Estes Park, you would survive in a t-shirt, be more comfortable with a jacket. You’re overthinking this, bring what you’ve got for mid season wear and you will be fine.

Son_of_Dog ? He was considering it, he said something about Canadian Club? We haven’t talked in a week or so, I dunno for sure. I’ll call him today and see what’s up.

I doubt I'll make this one. As much as I like going to Colorado, I've got some other stuff going on that I need to focus on.

Well, after seeing the amount of flat slab from here to Leadville, we have decided to trailer the bike, not fun to ride for 800 miles on a straight road.
1olbull , did you mention we have permission to leave the trailers at the motel in Leadville?

Actually I have been watching very little TV. Have been entertained with the radios and the yard and the dogs. Traffic has gotten crazy to the point I just don't ride the bike. The distracted driving thing has gotten out of hand. Every driver is staring at their telephone.
Perhaps a shorter road drive might be doable for me. Four days of driving alone all day has become too risky for me. Have fun and perhaps we can have a run closer sometime.
I'm sorry to disappoint. This mountain ride is something I really wanted to do but I have gotten too weak.

Just finished packing and loading up the Queen Machine. We're heading out O'Dawn butt crack early (0400hrs) for Leadville with three howdy stops slong the way (Dealer, Idaho Red Rocket, smokit2, & RocketGirl). We are 6 from WA & 1 from AZ.
YurMama is running primo & I be stoked for our first road trip together.
Looking forward to seeing and enjoying everybody.
