Taking a Road Trip to Colorado

Click for Full Size

Beginning early tomorrow morning, I'll be heading out to Colorado, to visit the "Rally in the Rockies".

The Rally actually runs the entire Labor Day Weekend, but I'll only be there for one day, Saturday, Sep. 3rd.

I'll be riding from Southern California (Menifee), with three other riders, all from the Iron Horses Riding Club. It will be a six day ride, taking us through California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado.

Check back, as I'll be recording the trip each day, and taking lots of photos. Don't think I'll be uploading photos online until after I get back, as I'll only have dial-up access in the motels. Here is a brief itinerary:

Day 1: Ride to Flagstaff, AZ, via I-10, to AZ-60, up to Prescott, Jerome, Sedona, and on to Flagstaff.

Day 2: Ride north to Four Corners Monument, and then on to Cortez, CO.

Day 3: Tour the "San Juan Skyway", which includes a ride along the Million Dollar Highway, stopping in Durango, Silverton, Ouray, and Telluride.

Day 4: Visit the Rally in the Rockies. Visit the Mesa Verde National Monument on the way back.

Day 5: Head back to Flagstaff, AZ, via AZ-191.

Day 6: Head home via I-40, to CA-95 to CA-62 to I-10

Hopefully my laptop will survive the trip.
