Usually there is an organized ride headquartered at Silverton, anyone seen anything on this year? Don't like to ride the mtns alone.
Maybe you should instigate a TWT group ride for that time period. Then you can ride with some of your buddies.
I was considering trying to put something together for a long weekend after Labor Day. Maybe a DS or single track ride. There have been a few TWT Dual Sport rides during that time frame in the Ouray area. It's a good time due to school being back in and most vacations are over with, so no crowds...
Absolutely perfect for me. Would be great to see you again, lets go! And by the way, Salida, Pitkin, Red River/Angel Fire, Crested Butte are fine by me also. Anytime after school starts is prime since accomodations are more available and usually cheaper.
Everyone please be aware that I will be on a plated XR4 and not intending to conquer MT Everest. I am past the falling off the side of a ledge/vertical trail stage of my riding career. D/S and single track is fine, just not the Erzberg type. Smelling the roses, not ripping them up by the roots. Not wanting to hinder anyone's ride desire but that will be my approach.

And still probably more than I would do.
You should plan to join us.
There is a group on another forum that rides camps/motels in Silverton, CO the last week of July. Anyone is invited and they cook breakfast and dinner each day for you. I did it a few years back and am going for it in about 3 weeks. They ride the jeep trails in the mountains and over the passes, all around Silverton. You will need a plated bike.

I am trailering up with my wife, daughter and her four year old son. I am riding and they are sight seeing, train riding etc. Let me know if anyone is interested.
