Morrison to Montrose route options

[Albert Miller]

It doesn't look like anyone has posted a proposed route to Montrose.

We can meet 815 to 830, kickstands up at 845, Phillips 66, 16283 Morrison Rd, Morrison, CO 80465.

Here are the 3 options I am looking at:

1 – Morrison – Cottonwood Pass – Kebler Pass – Montrose

Google maps says 7 hrs 268 miles

We would need to keep an eye on the weather and watch for rain. MSN weather forecast for Friday at Kebler Pass is a high of 75 with a 2% chance of t-storms at 1pm, increasing to 57% at 4pm.

Depending on the bikes in the group, the gravel portion of Kebler pass may be an issue.

2 – Morrison – Cottonwood Pass – Gunnison - Hwy 92 to Hotchkiss – Montrose

Google Maps says 6 hrs 15 min 292 miles

With 50 closed west of the hwy 92, traffic on 92 could be an issue.

3- Morison - Independence Pass – Carbondale - Montrose

Google Maps says 6 ½ hrs 305 miles via Buena Vista or says 6 hrs 286 miles via I70.

Independence Pass to Carbondale is usually busy with traffic.

I will post this on Facebook.

Al - I would vote for #2 or #3 in that order. I took 92 last year at the same time and traffic was not that bad.  My tank is 3 gallons so I will need to stop more frequently than in prior years (still haven't figured out the fuel light as it seems to go with more than a gallon left in the tank).

Vince Lane and I will be going I-70 to Glenwood, then CO 82. CO 133 and 92 to US 50 then to Montrose.  He will meet me at about 9:30 at the Dunkin Donuts, 120 Blue River Pkwy (HY 9 Exit, 1st after the tunnel,) then right and right.

When Sara and I were  camping in Gunnison in June, we traveled to Mongteose on one of the days that we were there. 

There was a stretch of road after  that big turn past Sappinaro  that had a fair amount of loose gravel.  

Obviously not bad with the Adventure bikes and more aggressive tires. But something worth noting for more street oriented tires. 

Of course it may all be completely different a month later as well. It may be all gone, it may have moved further down the road, dunno. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Of course if you take option #2 or #3, you would avoid that possibilityon 50 entirely. 

Sorry that Sara and I won't be there this year.

Have a great time!

Sean and Sara

I rode a loop yesterday including CO92 and US50. I didn’t see anything that looked sketchy outside of the actual construction zones. There’s a lot of work in downtown Hotchkiss as they’re replacing Main St. but it’s not bad.

lol, Al, I just mentioned this in the other thread.  Whatever you guys decide, let me know where to meet you and when. I haven't done Independence yet this year, but Martin has. 

Cheers,

Norm,

I plan on taking the same route. However, I plan on departing a little latter so maybe I will see you on the road.
