We're off to a good start here!
Sherob & Rhino, thank you for your replies, if there is anything you can add, it would be really appreciated! As far as the roads go, I've been compiling a list for a couple of years now and have a set of Butler Maps on hand. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate any additional road suggestions, but in this thread I am looking for inside info on riding in high elevations and "Colorado that only locals know about"! Here are some questions for you guys:
-is it a good idea to carry extra fuel, what time do the gas stations stay open till in smaller towns?
-out of 14 days set aside for this trip, only 10 will be full riding days(it will take us a day and a half to
get there and same to go back)
. Is 10 days enough time to do both States (to see their true
beauty) or should I spend the entire 10 days in Colorado and go back to Utah next year?
-how much time do I need to reserve for Pikes Peak(plan is to be there early am on the first riding
day of our trip)?
-four corners: is there some kind of sign or a post with the names of all four states, so we can take a nice group shot?
Rhino, great suggestion about Steamboat Springs, will definitely spend a night there. I will keep you posted on our arrival in Colorado Springs, would love to hook up for a dinner and some beers with you. You're going to love my friends.....these guys are a riot!
I will have more questions soon, please stay tuned...
