Any (north) Colorado folks up for a Poudre ride this Sunday 5/8?

[Justin]

Just throwing it out since this region is a bit dead  . Looks like a great weekend for a Poudre Canyon ride - sunny and 70. Was thinking riding up to Walden for lunch, then back down the canyon and hit Stove Prairie on the return.  Was thinking a 10-11 am meet somewhere near CO 14 in Ft Collins. Any takers?

Will check maps.g later and see what I can find for a good meet up spot, unless anyone chimes in with suggestions.

The only place I recall of hand is the corner gas station where 14 splits from 287. Gonna stop there 10:30 - 10:00ish - anyone wants to ride/have lunch, you're welcome to join

I'm thinking about it. I would like to go, but I dunno if I'll be able to make it. I'll post here, or meet you there if I can.

I know it's short notice, but hope ya can make it - would you be coming down from WY?

Yeah, just over the border in Laramie.

I'd join you guys if I weren't going to Moab with the Husqvarna this weekend

Rory & Justin, it would be good to see both of you again, been a while.
I'm afraid I don't spend much time here at ST.N anymore... I should check more often for rides like this though.

Sounds good but doubtful for me.  Will hope to catch the next one...

Yeah, it's been a while have fun in Moab!

And yeah, I for one will be posting more rides/meets over the summer.

I'll have to pass. My daughter's car broke down and I have to fix it so she can get to work. Up in Estes at the shop tonight and most of the day tomorrow...

[Justin]

Sorry ya couldn't make it - have fun fixing cars

Well, was just me and my lonesome - rode Poudre Canyon up to Walden - weather and roads were perfect, and hardly any traffic. From Walden, headed home via 125 to Granby, then over Berthoud pass to I-70 and home. There is still a ton of snow on the passes, I'm thinking there will be some flooding this year once the melt starts in full.

Was a little chilly with the mesh jacket and no liner on the passes, but was nice after the heat down below. Berthoud pass is a mess, lots of cracks and frost heaves in the road on the North side that hasn't been redone yet.

I'm usually out riding every weekend (thurs-sat for me). I post up a lot more on CSC and meet up with a bunch of guys(and girls) from there and do distance riding, or any riding really, during the year. I almost went up the canyon this past sat, but it was getting late in the day when I hit 14.
