Awwwww, JJ!  You aren't coming all the way up ??? :'(

It won't be the same without you.  I can't ride until Sunday thanks to my work schedule.  I was planning to ride south with you on your way back home.   [bang]

I am in on JJ's route. I have ordered some gear and paid extra shipping to get here on Friday. Fingers crossed.  [roll]  [moto]

Are you planning to do the whole ride to ColSprings on Saturday? I'm planning a route till Cimarron or Eagle nest and head back through Black Lake Mora on Saturday....Any takers on a one day long trip, Cloner? 300 miles and about 7-8 hrs.... [moto] Sunday remains free for other activities/recovery! ;D



Oh man!  JJ, i thought we were going to burn up Colorado again with Bonfy and some of the SoCoDogs.  So be it.  We'll blast it as far as you can go.  Yeah i'm going all the way on Saturday.  That's a good days ride.  Just like when we came back last time.  Cloner you still in there.  I thought we could meet up at the Starbucks on 550 just off I-25 at around 8:15  and then head up to Santa Fe and pick up JJ.  The weather here and up there is looking good throughout the weekend and next week.  Cool temps in the AM but otherwise sunny and mild.   [moto] [moto]

Sorry.  Evelyn has roped me into playing corner worker on Saturday, so I'm gonna have to bow out of the ride, too.  Have fun, and don't do anything (to a SPH) that I wouldn't do (which ain't much).

BUMMER!  Would have been fun.  And I promise not to do anything you wouldn't.   YES  . . .  the skies the limit.   [thumbsup]

Awww...  :'(  [bang] I can only do Sat and Sunday as I 'm totally out of vacation! If Kawboy is planning a return on Sunday I can cover it...But I'm assuming he is planning to burn rubber next week in CO as well...Pls let me know your return plans F...I'm also a bit worried if my wrist will hold up and if the rubber left on my rear tire is enough! :-[ If this doesnt work, I promise another trip North and another and more...still young and healthy... [beer] [moto]
Ride forever...

I don't know Kawboy's return plan, but I can promise you I would ride with you as far as Taos or Alamosa or Cimmaron.  Hell, at that point, I might as well go the rest of the way to Bernallio.  The plot thickens!  Think about it on Saturday.  I've still got your play clothes and kit up here so if you change your mind at Cimmaron and decided to press on, you'll be all set.   [thumbsup]

My plan is to ride up Saturday.  Violate the Rockies on Sunday with Bonfy and any others who show up.  Then return to the 505 on Monday.  I'm working around Bonfy's and my off days and the weather, which is predicted to be great through the weekend and next week.  So, JJ, however far you can make it, we'll work that on the fly.   [moto] [thumbsup]

Au Contrare.  Saturday and Sunday are looking good both in ABQ and Colorado Springs.  Monday may be a little iffy in the PM for the Springs but still is looking good For ABQ.  Check it out on Weather.com.

[thumbsup]  We'll keep on smiling then, one way or another!  Alot can happen between now and tomorrow morning anyway.  If you guys go through Red River, bring me FUDGE!!!  I will pay when you get here.

No problem.  I think I have room on the outside of my rear tire for it.  Just drop it off this afternoon at my front door.    Too bad I'll probably be sleeping.  I'll miss that smacker.  :(
