Is there any tentative dates for a Colorado Rally for 2013?? I would love to join the West coaster's, but that would be quite a haul from Kansas.

Maybe if we can get enough members to show interest that one will be put on the schedule.

You can also attend the Renegade Rally, Napa was excellent this year and Andy was a terrific host. I would love to ride the roads of Colorado as well....

If there is not a Colorado rally, I might have to come and join you in Northern CA. I have ridden in your neck of the woods, Angeles Crest, Angeles Forest, Ortega Hwy, Hwy 76 to Julian, Up to Big Bear and Lake Arrowhead, Hwy 150 through Ojai, US1 up to Monterey, Hwy G16 through Carmel Valley, My favorite road of all time.

I have never ridden north of Monterey, I may have to put this in my calender this summer.

My sister lives in Golden. I sure hope there is a 2013 rally. So I can visit her on the way out.

I had an awesome time this past summer at the Gunnison Rally........Being that it is so close to my Denver home, it would be a piece of cake for me to get to, and would love to see another one next year..........However they seem to happen about once in 3 to 5 years or so............And If I had the choice next year, I will be trying like hell to make it to the West Coast Rally.........Seeing Andy's videos and pictures sure make me want to ride out from here.....and it's certainly doable, but I am also contemplating trailering out to California from here.(in case something happens like this year)

That being said, it is certainly possible to organize one here in Colorado if enough people show interest in attending........... :drinks:

Not everyone understands what a completely rational process this maintenance of a motorcycle is. They think it's some kind of a knack or some kind of affinity for machines in operation. They are right, but the knack is almost purely a process of reason.

So if we can get a rally going for this year. It would be  the weekend after the WCR again. Thurs June 6- Sun June 9. I have a 1 month sabbatical I could use to go to the WCR first. Then hit the Colorado rally on the way back.

Hi:

I can't totally say what the coming months have in store for me, but I have some interest in attending if another rally can fall into place. I now have my FJ's sorted out and in shape for a long trip.

I've only been to CO for downhill skiing, but from what I've read regarding the riding there, it's great too.

Not sure if anyone else in MN, WI, or other adjacent states would have interest in this rally and would like to ride together, or trailer down.

I am also interested in going to AR this year when the weather warms enough.

Fingers crossed I'll be working and living in Colorado then and will have the street bike back on the road...

The Colorado rally last year was amazing! Great scenery, great riding, and great company what more could you want? Since last years CO rally I've been planning a mandatory rocky mountain road trip this summer.....Alan, If there is enough interest maybe we could organize a weekend warrior route through Gods country. Just thinking about it makes me anxious to ride (considering the heap of money and time I've put into modding the ol' FJ this winter!) Cant wait ride again!!!
