To everyone who is interested in another round of great Colorado riding, please give us your best input.

Ryde the 3 highest Roads in North America, visit places like Rocky Mountain National Park, the Garden of the Gods, Casino towns at 10,000 ft.
Indepence Pass, Aspen, Gelnwood Canyon, Vail, Breckenridge and a 200+ mile canyon route that will leave to satisfied with twisties... till the next time you can back!!!

Take in a Rockies game, do the Coors Brewery Tour in Golden... tons of fun things to do.

We want to respect the dates of the other major Spyder events so we are considering the last week of July, mid-August or Labor Day weekend.

Yes I am interested in comming out there in August. I should have my health issues taken care of by then. I will either ride out by myself or, rent a Spyder if J goes with me.

There are a couple of gas pumps outside the store at the Gateway Canyons Resort. I filled up there two years ago.

{edit} Although Google now doesn't show any pumps where they used to be? If so I'm guessing the next closest gas is in Naturita.
