Ducati in the Rockies 2011
The Ultimate Hooligan Gathering
August 12th - 15th

Ducati in the Rockies (DitR) would like to extend an open invitation to those of you who live to ride the canyons.

For six consecutive years in early August, Ducati riders from several states have converged on a small town in SW Colorado. Sure, there are many reasons to visit the “Switzerland of America”: the quaint historic town, the breathtaking terrain and the amazing hot springs.  We go there for the twisties. 

DitR started in 2005 and has always been held in Ouray, Colorado. It was designed to be a grassroots event, so that Colorado Ducati enthusiasts can get together with other Ducatistas from around the country and ride incredible roads in some of the greatest scenery this country has to offer.

Since it’s inception DitR has seen riders from almost every US state. It has even attracted the attention of Ducati Italy.  Ouray sits on the edge of the San Juan National Forest.  People who have been to both areas say its terrain reminds them of the canyons and curvy roads near Bologna, Italy, the birthplace of Ducati.

Most of us use the Friday to travel to Ouray and gather for an early evening welcome party.  We then ride the canyons and mountain passes on Saturday and Sunday, averaging 300 to 500 miles a day.  On Monday we say goodbye to old friends and new - and ride the long way home. 

Through DitR, lodging discounts at a local hotel are available, along with suggested ride maps for those who are not familiar with the area.  Also we will be hosting a group beer tasting and BBQ at a local brewery.

Please join us for Ducati in the Rockies, August 12th -15th, 2011.  Visit our FaceBook Events Page to RSVP or PM me with any questions you may have. 

We look forward to riding with you.

Whatever skill level you have will suffice as long as you have the sense to know what that skill level is.

Your biggest issue will either be intimidation by other riders (But if you ride within your own limits, that goes away...), or your biggest issue will be looking at the scenery and NOT at the road.  It's *frickin'* beee-yo-ti-ful up dere... 

W  W!!!

Past experience has shown that there is a wide variety of riding styles from balls out to casual weekend outing represented by the group.  Just relax, breathe, and enjoy yourself.  No one will get on you for being slow.

ALSO:

I'm gonna put down a big MAYBEE.  Have to see what the schedule is gonna be like for me.

I'm seriously considering it.  It depends on track days and funds depleted from said track days and upgrading suspension. 

Anyone want to form a mid-coast caravan out there?  Riding alone can be boring

It's not a track day... but you will get as many or more turns in.  Plus, the scenery is better.  Also, spakin's!
