Almost 3hrs to get to BV via 285 from where I live...Hmm...

What was the turnout for this like last year?
Zach, sorry about your bike being not ridable. Perhaps the next one.
A bit more info for anybody on the fence. As stated, there is usually between 8-16 riders, of varing capabilities, from newbs looking to expand thier horizons, to long time old farts, like myself looking for a bit of peace from riding. You will find a place in the pack, so to speak, by the first stop.
I start the ride with a very, very short speal on my expectations from the group. And that's it, we ride.
My group talk is about being a douche, and how that is not tolorated, and my riding buddy system, and how the group dynamics should be.
I have sent people packing, so just don't be a douche, and you will have a great ride.
Show up looking for a great time, and you will be watching fireworks that night with a grin, totally spent from having such a good time all day.
See you'all in BV!

+1 to what Bash said. Well ran by him and a pace that is spot on for 500 miles through varies counties over a whole day. Saw some awesome scenery last year and very sad I can't go again. Granted, one of the first long ones I did but one of the best I have ever done. Rolled into the garage with 504 miles on the trip meter.
I do remember Hotchkiss the best. Hot. As. Hell.

Looks like I won't have a bike for this Mr. B, next year fer sure.
If only the 4th didn't fall on a workday, I'd be out there with you, Basher. Enjoy your ride and let me know if there's anything you need help with.

DAMN...I won't be in town. Ride hard and fun for me!

I tried to get my sheperds in at their kennel but they were booked up. I would very much liked to have rode this one. Some other time.
Did it last year and it was nothing but good times.
Imma girl....so what! What's your next question?
If anyone from the Springs is going and wants to meet up at the 8th street Acorn (8th and Hwy 24) let me know.
719-201-9383.
I plan to leave that station at 6am to head to BV.

This might fall into the stupid question zone, but does the 500 miles include the 100 mi run from town to BV?

Yes. It's 500 miles total from either Denver or springs.
"If not us, who? If not now, when?"
Man I am so tempted to do this one... why does my soccer game have to be at 11 tonight!
My old buddy Fatkid from Denver is looking for some of you northern folks to ride into Buena Vista in the morning. Somebody from Denver post up if you are going to go on this so that he might meet up and ride in with you, thanks!
For the rest of everybody, if you dont want to eat be @ Jan's ready to ride @ 9AM. Otherwise it gives everybody else an hour to eat and get prepared to ride.
See you'all in the morning!

Bash, I'll stop for gas at the Acorn gas station and leave at 6am if you would like to ride out to BV with me.
Or, if I oversleep I'll see you there at 9 =P

Hi, new to the forum here. I will be attending this ride as I live in Buena Vista. Someone send this info to me on another forum so I will see all who comes tomorrow.
