All-

I'm trying to get a few people together for this ride organized by AZride.com. A bunch of us went last year and it was a blast, some really great riding.

"The most dramatic section of former Rt 666 is known today as the Coronado Trail Scenic Byway. Our Route 666 Run is a magnificent 265 mile ride on one of the most scenic stretches of American tarmac, in commemoration of the birth and death of the once legendary Devilââ,¬â,,¢s Highway. "

Already have a few of you that expressed interest, but everyone please post up if you want to go. We plan to leave town Friday morning May 30th and rent a cabin in Alpine for 2 nights. We'll work out the details in this thread as they progress. Need to get a good head count as early as possible if people want to split a cabin.

Make sure and register on the web site to enter to win some prizes. It's not a huge group ride. Last year several small groups of riders/friends just checked in at the starting spot, and left on their own pace & schedule. You would see and mingle with the other riders at various stopping points, etc., and hanging out for meals before and after. A very fun day...hope to see a bunch of Duc riders!

At least I have a positive attitude about my destructive habits.

OK, you can wear your Mankini, but please keep it under your leathers. I heard it makes you faster. mo:t:

Because I have more time on my hands?

We're around, just trying to catch our breath!

Cool pics Alan.  Full ride report on it's way.  We had at least 4 cameras and some video going.  It was a great weekend!

Hoping to put a proper ride report together, but I'm waiting on pics from the other guys...you don't want some skewed, one sided story from the 80 pics off my camera do ya?!  :)










NAKID

I guess that will have to suffice for now...

Getting ready to put together the ride report ...just sifting through all the images, etc. 
But, I couldn't wait to share this vid.  I can't stop watching it.  Crank it.
