well people the roads between silverton and ouray are still a mess no work has been done to speak of yet. which is a shame because the road between durango to silverton has a bunch of new road which is nice.  but other then one small section that road was fine! (around here they will do any thing for those bicycle riders) were red mtn pass will put you on your a** right quick if your not careful.   But hwy 145 telluride/Deloris is really nice and fun to ride.   maybe a couple of choppy spots nothing bad   I'll keep you all posted    

Did you do Ridgeway/Telluride this weekend?  I did a little work to the bikes, but didn't even start them this weekend.

Ya my friend got the 12k service done and sunday morn stopped by and I just up and went. had lunch in telluride and road back lizardhead pass is that ridgeway?  also count I didn't know I was going or I would have shot you a p.m.. I dont have your # so could u p.m. or call me?  thanx 

Ridgeway is the little town north of Ouray where you turn West to go towards Telluride.  Lizardhead is the pass between Telluride and Dolores.

No worries, I wouldn't have been able to go anyway.

Well they must have known you all were going to ouray because the roads from coalbank to ouray is mostly all NEW   and I mean really really nice! there has still been some stoping places for road work here and their but not to bad see ya next weekend

Thanks for the update Marsrr.  Can't wait to ride that road and am really looking forward to meeting you and more of the forum members. 

Yeah, 550 is effing sweet!  the opposite side of the skyway is a bit rough though.

There was some massive flooding in Ouray this weekend (yeah, try going through THAT on a 1098).  But as marrs said, the upper parts of Red Mountain pass were brandy new tarmac!  Only one section about 1 mile long is uneven with the new stuff, so if you blow a corner, you will know it quickly when you drop 5 inches!

Cant wait!

I think I just heard,  .  As far as that pass in a downpour on a 1098 goes, I thought in the past four months & 9000mls I had seen it all. but, 14mls of rain like a shower head, I soaked my clutch plates to the point of it not working...at all.  AAAHHHR,   The Black Pass.       (That was a pirate) 

words can no longer describe the sexyness witch is the road 550 from durango to ouray    [moto]
