    Going to be heading out early on Sunday morning for an easy-ish ride. Anyone who cares to join in is welcome.

    Planning to stop for lunch at my place out in Park Co (takes about three hours to get there), then loop back. Maybe loop around 11 mile res, maybe hit LaSalle pass, definitely take the dirt roads from Florrisant to WP through the 717 area. Probably looking at 80% dirt roads, 15% pavement, 4% 4x4 trails, 1% singletrack.

    Leaving from here at 8:00am --> https://www.facebook.com/pages/Sacred-Grounds-Coffee-in-the-Canyon/178843442149042?sk=page_map

    I and Joe (not sure if he's on ADV) may be interested, although we're meeting at my place in Crystal Park at 8 am about a mile past the gate so he can borrow one of my motos. What is your route from Sacred Grounds? If up US 24 then could we meet at the Manitou Pool parking lot?

    Not going up 24. Don't really want to push the time back, maybe you guys can get an earlier start?

    I can neither confirm nor deny these accusations.

    Correction....Proveick is doing the above ride. Not sure why he's trying to hi-jack my ride thread? :hmmmmm

    I'll still be having coffee at the location linked to above and heading out from there, if anyone is interested in joining me.
