There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Touring should be about the ride and not the destination. Highway isn't going to be as enjoyable as taking alternate routes.

:agree: with the back roads you also get to see the "flavor" of the little burgs you go through, then eat at some local joints, not the chain restaurants you find on the interstate. People will love to you about your ride, and quite often tell you things you should see that are not on the list of touristy things that is readily available.

I have both bicycled through a lot of CO and this past summer a friend and I spent a week riding through the state seeing some of the most beautiful parts of our great country as well as riding back roads to and from. Feel free to PM me for anything you'd like to know. The length of your trip is something I would have loved to take.

Each version has its own set of pros and cons. Since moving to AR from AK, I am liking the quiet country roads we encounter. We try to stay off the four lane interstate stuff...but...one cannot always do that. :yes:
It really depends. If you plan on riding in the Denver area, then maybe you'd rather suffer the boredom of the slab in order to get there faster. (I did that on a trip from upstate NY to Baton Rouge.) But if you have something else to do in Denver--like visiting a relative, say--then maybe you'd like to get the fun riding in on the back roads on the way out and back.
The slab is quick and efficient, but not much fun.

Im leaving on a 8 day trip to the Smokys tomorrow,unfortunelaty theres no way to go from Delaware to North Carolina without taking some of the worst interstate in this country.If I was going out west and had a month I would stay far away from as much interstate as possible.What you need to do is get some really good MC touring maps.Digital is nice but I like to plan a trip on a MC friendly map.Butler has some stuff for rt 66 and Colorado and you can search for other brands,also look for touring books where the author has actually spent years touring an area and tells you all of the interesting stuff to do or see along the way because its the stuff alongside the road combined with the road itself that makes for a memorable trip.Take pics and write notes about the good and the bad and have fun.
