You set the day and time THEN add an IF.

Are you getting old and, like me, cannot remember between posts?

I don't get in until Friday. So you can guess my vote on which day.

How about a meet and greet Thursday evening about 6:00 at the Mineshaft Pizza.
Or at the KOA barbeque Friday evening at 6:00
Just a suggestion .

Both sound great to me. I hear the barbecue is pretty good. Also they have live music.

We will be rolling up Thursday, late afternoon. We will have to first scope out the folks that have an extra camp spot. Can’t wait to show up and start telling tall tales. Lol

Sounds like a good idea to me!

I am arriving Thursday also, not sure what time, could be late...….grin.

I wanted so much to crash this party but things didn't work out. You all have a great safe time and post lots of photos and stories.

ALL LIES ! LOL

So, my wife likes to spend her birthday (7/24) in Ouray, and I figured maybe I could combine her birthday trip with this rally, but KOA didn't have room for our trailer so we went to Plan B for the birthday. Fotunately for me, Plan B will still let me come over to Ouray possible as early as Thursday and stay for a couple days.

If I just show up is there a chance of finding a tent spot or should I call KOA and see if they have anything open.

I have street tires on my Tenere so I won't be doing any of the "fun" stuff with you guys, but there's still a bunch of cool stuff to ride without getting too far off the tarmac.

All of us with trailers will have extra room for tents, you should be covered BVMark, Just cost you some beer or scotch....grin.

If REALLY good scotch I have an air conditioned couch available.

(Said from the Ohio/Indiana border after riding the other bike All day in 100 degree temperatures)

What spot did they give you Bigbob ? I will be in 103 on Friday, not sure where they are putting me Thursday night. I also have a wolf pup, what can I say, you inspired me !!

Need to get home so I can work the last two days of my life. Retire and leave for this on Wednesday and hope I make it on Thursday! But if not who can ride Sunday or Monday?

Nope it was the Texas Snake. Blame him as I got mine from the same dealer. 5 hour drive for me 10 for him.

Not sure the site. Hope an old retired and tired fat guy can walk to the fun. Heck I may still be hung over.

I ended up driving Livermore CA. to Logan UT to pick mine up, they had an 18RJB unit there.

I must be just ahead of you. We rode across Ohio and stayed just outside of Indy last night. Made it to Waverly, Iowa tonight. Decided to head north to Minnesota. Rumor is you can get out of these near 100 degree temps by hitting I-90 on Saturday heading for the Badlands. I hope so, it's been a warm couple of days.

We're taking the long way to Colorado. Found the break in the heat wave today.






Wild ride. Crazy gusts. Lots of riding at a 20-30 degree angle to stay straight. It was a blast, laughed my head off. DM not exactly crazy about it, but did great on the lighter bike. Temps 25 degrees cooler than yesterday, Awesome ride today.

There's also free music in the park in Ridgway Thursday evening. If anyone is up to get tacos and listen to music. Or did we set pizza as what's happening?

Pizza, then music......?
