Jim Baker,if you care to join the group,my ETA should be 11.30-11.45 in Woodland Park.

At that point,depending on time etc,will determine which route to traverse into Gunnison.Lunch will be in Salida or Buena Vista

The intersection of Hwy-285 & 50 in Poncha Springs is being rebuilt.
At present it is about a 30 minute wait to get thru that intersection from any direction.
And, you will be following dozens of trucks & motorhomes up and down Monarch pass.
Poncha pass has a 30 minute delay in addition to the intersection delay, if you are considering doing the beautiful loop
Thru Saguache (285 to Saguache and 114 back to 50).
Just a bad Summer to get around this part of the State. Safe travels all.

Someone at CDOT must be really mad at Gunnison.  Maybe going through Taylor reservoir is a good option now that it’s been paved. I bet it’s busy now too.

But that route misses Cottonwood Pass! IT’S MADNESS!

That’s what I had planned out E-Steve for my best route on my 1st trip on this 03 T100 and I think that sounds great.

Steve:  I will plan on meeting you guys in Woodland Park and riding the rest of the way in with the group.  

As far as lunch goes, I'd recommend the Thunderbird Inn in Florissant.  There aren't a lot of options in Lake George.  There is a restaurant in Hartsel, but I've never eaten there.  

See you tomorrow!

Totally over looked the T'Bird lnn,that sounds like a winner!

Just remember that traffic could be possibly heavy going over Cottonwood Pass,thanks largely to the destruction around Salida plus the bridge issues on HWY50......

I’ve ridden right past the Thunderbird Inn for a decade now… Sounds like a plan. See everybody at 11:30.

I was hoping I would be able to ride up Saturday and have dinner with the group but that isn't going to happen.

I hope everyone has a great time and ride same.

Cheers,

Al Miller
