Earache Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Dunno why I'm calling this "Trip West II" as it'll happen before "Trip West I", but I digress...I'll be heading to Colorado and Utah areas during this one week trip and we have room for a couple more bikers if anyone wants to come along.My friend Brad (VFR800) and I will be heading west to meet up with my wife at Gateway, Colorado. Hope to be there by July 4th. Stay for a couple of days and then take our time coming back through the Rockies.Portions of this trip will visit the same places we'll be going on the Trip West I - and we'll go some places that will be different. No set itinerary for the trip yet other than the first couple of days at Gateway.The pacof this trip will be a bit faster -Speed Touring,if you will. Highway speeds will be near 90 mph of the time two lane roads 20 slower,So a capable bike would be required. Might be a few longer days in the saddle as well - expect two or three 700+ mile days.Now that I've painted such a rosy picture, anyone wanna come along?
