Mike, my brother and I plan to be in Western Colorado near July 4. We plan to jump off after Engineer Pass taking 550/50 up to Whitewater then 141 and dirt roads to Spanish Valley UT. After joining the trail at Moab we'll be on it to the Oregon Coast. Glad to have more riding company. Our delay around Montrose and Grand shouldn't be more than two days, we are getting new tires put on the bikes there.
