RATs:  Thanks to all who participated and supported the 2024 Distinguished Gentleman's Ride.  We had a great turnout and a great ride!  

Now onto the Next Big Thing:  

The Spring Overnight is just TWO WEEKS away!  So now that the DGR is over, let's get ready to ride the first overnight ride of 2024! 

CURRENT HEADCOUNT:  PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU ARE NOT ON THE LIST:

Martin Albright (Pueblo)
Adam Shamblin (Broomfield)
Steve Reid (English Steve) (Hudson)
Chris Peltz (Windsor)
Al Miller (Littleton)
Steve Smith (Tentative)
Dave & Andrea Warfield (driving)
Curtis Graves (Denver)
Ron Espinosa (Arvada)
Jim Baker (CO Springs)

English Steve (Steve Reid) has volunteered to lead the "Denver Group" for the Spring Overnight June 1 - 2.  He plans on meeting everyone and departing from Bennett, CO.  Specific location to be determined  

I will meet the group in Lamar, CO and we will ride the remainder of the way together.  

From my Googling, it appears that the route from Bennett is 397 miles or about 7 hours.  

From Bennett to Lamar is 175 miles and 2 hrs 45 minutes.  From Lamar to Amarillo is roughly 220 miles/ 3 1/2 hours 

Let's meet in Lamar at the Port-to-Plains Travel Plaza on the North/West side of Lamar (before you cross the railroad tracks.)  If we meet there at 12:00 Noon we should be in Amarillo before 4:00 PM.  

Steve, if you guys go "kickstands up" at 9:00 or thereabouts from Bennett, you should be able to make it to Lamar by noon easily.  

Jim Baker I believe is riding with me from the Pueblo vicinity.  If there's anybody else in the CO Springs/Pueblo area, let me know.

Let's keep this channel active so we all know what's going on.  There WILL be an RMRAT monthly meeting this coming Saturday 5/25/2024 at Foothills.  

Ride safe!

Martin

Hello Martin,

I am planning to go on the ride. I did not respond earlier because I lost your earlier email.

Sounds good, Rich! I will add you to the list. Am I right in thinking you will be with the Denver group riding with Steve?

Hey group,

I am planning on leaving out of Littleton to Castle Rock and then east to Franktown and Limon then south. 

Loaf and Jug, 4901 N Castleton Dr, Castle Rock, CO 80109

If we leave at 830, we should have plenty of time to meet up in Lamar.
