Distribution is intended for use only by members of the BMWMCC. Specific details and extent of organization of each ride may vary and are subject to change. Additional organized rides may be announced periodically at club meetings, in the club newsletter, or in electronic announcements. Visit the club website for updated information on rides at www.BMWMCC.org. Disclaimer Members and guests participate in these rides at their own discretion and accept all responsibility for risks associated with such rides. Neither the BMW Motorcycle Club of Colorado nor any of its Officers or members shall be held liable for claims or loss including property damage, injury, or death as a result of participation in events appearing in the BMWMCC 2014 Ride Book or any other club event. A rider’s or passenger’s signature may be required on a form of release of all claims and rights before participating in a given ride. Enjoy your motorcycle and ride safe! 4 BMWMCC 2014 Ride Book Group Riding Motorcycle Safety Foundation www.msf-usa.org •Arrive prepared and on time with a full gas tank. •Hold a riders’ meeting. Discuss the route, rest and fuel stops, and hand signals (see diagrams on MSF website). Assign a lead and sweep (tail) rider. Both should be experienced riders who are well-versed in group riding procedures. The leader should assess everyone’s riding skills and the group’s riding style. •Keep the group to a manageable size, ideally no more than five to seven riders. If necessary, break the group into smaller sub-groups, each with a lead and sweep rider. •Ride prepared. At least one rider in each group should pack a cell phone, first-aid kit, and full tool kit so the group is prepared for any problem that they might encounter. The ride leader should carry a cell phone and should make his cell number known to each rider. •Ride information. The staggered riding formation (see diagram on MSF website) allows a proper space cushion between motorcycles so that each rider has enough time and space to maneuver and to react to hazards. The leader rides in the left third of the lane, while the next rider stays at least one second behind in the right third of the lane; the rest of the group follows the same pattern. A single-file formation is preferred on a curvy road, under conditions of poor visibility or poor road surfaces, entering/leaving highways, or other situations where an increased space cushion or maneuvering room is needed. Avoid side-by-side formations, as they reduce the space cushion and if you suddenly needed to swerve to avoid a hazard, you would not have room to do so. You don’t want handlebars to get entangled. •Periodically check the riders following in your rear view mirror. If you see a rider falling behind, slow down so he/she may catch up. If all the riders in the group use this technique, the group should be able to maintain a fairly steady speed without pressure to ride too fast to catch up. •If you’re separated from the group, don’t panic. Your group should have a pre-planned procedure in place to regroup. Don’t break the law or ride beyond your skills to catch up. •For mechanical or medical problems, use a cell phone to call for assistance as the situation warrants. www.BMWMCC.org 5 Group Riding Ride Schedule Sep 05-07 Sep 05-07 Sep 12-15 Sep 13-14 Sep 26-28 Sep 27 Oct TBD Monthly Dec 25 Jan TBD Jan 01-’15 LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT I have the great pleasure of presenting you with the BMW Motorcycle Club of Colorado’s 2014 Ride Book. I am extremely proud of it, not only for its content but because it demonstrates what can be accomplished through the dedicated and collective efforts of our Club members. We are an all-volunteer organization but you wouldn’t know it from the high quality of this Ride Book. You can thank Cathy Catrell for this. She has spent untold hours over the past 5 years in the design, layout and supervision of the printing of this book. She cranks out the monthly newsletter in her “spare time.” The Club has been in existence since about 1972. I say “about” because in the beginning, when no one knew how long the Club might be around, record keeping was minimal. Much of it has undoubtedly been lost over time. Through the efforts of my predecessor as President, Carl Thomte, we have located, salvaged and catalogued what Club newsletters and communications we could find. Many of the old newsletter articles have referred to members and events from earlier times. It has been very interesting reading. Cathy and Carl have done excellent work for the Club but the Club has always owed its existence to the members like them who have stepped up and donated their time. This year we have an especially devoted group. Our current Board has 15 members. Four are elected and 11 others serve at the pleasure of the Board. Of the 15, 11 have served in some capacity prior to this year! That should tell you something right there. 6 When I announced February 1st that I needed someone to be the Ride Coordinator, John Coker volunteered and in one month, he pulled together all the rides you see in this book. He told me that he had enjoyed being on Club rides and that “It’s my turn.” When the Club needed to make better use of the Internet, Keren Kilgore stepped up. When the Membership Chair position came open, Greg DeWit stepped up. Members like Siggi Pflumm and Michael Kilgore show up every year in some capacity, bringing continuity to our efforts. David Adair stepped up for a third time to be 2014 Rally Chair. Mike Szabo, Frank Ricci and Jeff Kelly all accepted another term in their elected positions of Vice President, Treasurer, and Secretary. I didn’t have to go looking for Bob Wagner for Store Manager. He just came to the January Board meeting! I told Brandi Newman that the Social Chair position didn’t require a social event for every month, but she has opened her term with 3 successful events in the first 3 months. Karst Postma didn’t even wait to see who would be elected as President. He solicits advertising income for the Club and he didn’t want to miss the prime season for doing that. BMWMCC SATURDAY MORNING RIDES RED ROCKS GRILL 415 Bear Creek Avenue, Morrison Every Saturday morning at 8:00 AM in summer months and 8:30 AM in winter months (rain, shine, or snow), members meet for breakfast at Red Rocks Grill in Morrison. If weather permits, we ride afterwards. New members, make yourself known—all are welcome! We take up the back area of the restaurant. If no rides have been pre-planned for that day, you can always catch a pick-up ride with destinations to be determined that morning. There’s no trick to being a successful Club president. You just surround yourself with good people. Please tell your friends, we would love to see them join the Club – still just $25.00. It’s going to be a great year! See you at the Club rides and at Saturday breakfast too! Jeff Burns, President BMWMCC BMWMCC 2014 Ride Book www.BMWMCC.org 7 APRIL 4-5, 2014 TRINITY SITE RIDE, NEW MEXICO DEATH VALLEY 8:00 AM Red Rocks Grill, Morrison 8:00 AM Ozzie’s, Morrison The dawn of a new era, our country was at war and a new weapon was needed. This is where the Atomic Age began on July 16, 1945 about 35 miles outside of Socorro, New Mexico. The Death Valley trip will consume at least 7 days or longer if weather over Vail Pass delays us. The plan is to camp in Death Valley but stay in a cabin at the KOA Campground in Richfield, Utah the first night. This was a small detonation by today’s standards, at only 20 kilotons yield, but still large enough to blast a ten-foot deep hole 1,100 feet wide and fuse the sand into a green glass called “trinitite” and illuminate the nearby mountains brighter than the midday sun. We will leave Morrison from Ozzie’s on April 4th, at 8:00 am and ride to Richfield. We will arrive in Death Valley on the 2nd day and stay in the Texas Creek Campground. We will use the campground as our base of operations for the next 3 days. What we will do depends on who is going and what they will be riding. There are both dirt and paved roads to ride on. I expect to do some hiking and photography both in early morning and moonlight. I am riding a BMW 1150 GS with dual purpose tires. Knobbies are not necessary. You do not need to be an expert dirt rider and we can provide help and guidance, but some experience is probably necessary. The site is on the national register of historical places and is only open on the first Saturday of April. APRIL 4-10, 2014 We will leave for home on April 10th (the 6th day out) and head home via Beatty, Nevada or Death Valley Junction. Weather conditions may determine the exact route and departure date. If Vail is snowed in on April 4th we will delay departure up to one week but no longer. If Vail remains snowed in for more than a week, the ride will be cancelled. Dennis O’Neil | 303-810-4910 | dboneil@me.com We will depart from Morrison Friday the 4th and ride to Carrizozo and either camp at the Valley of Fire or stay at a motel, then tour the site Saturday the 5th. After the tour we can return on a variety of great New Mexico roads, yet to be determined. Carl Thomte | 303-753-6652 | rcarloski@msn.com 8 BMWMCC 2014 Ride Book www.BMWMCC.org 9 APRIL 26, 2014 ATLAS MISSILE SILO, GREELEY MAY 3, 2014 BULL’S EYE & BEEMERS RIDE 9:00 AM Red Rocks Grill, Morrison 9:00 AM Meet - 9:30 AM Departure Dick’s Sporting Goods Parking Lot - 6000 Victory Way, Commerce City Visit a relic of the cold war era. The Atlas “E” series missiles were the second-generation intercontinental ballistic missiles deployed and active from 1961 to 1965. They had a unique “coffin style” construction. The missile coffin held a four megaton bomb, 500 times more powerful than Hiroshima. The site is east of Greeley and should take about an hour and a half to reach. There will be a guided tour of the missile site and after a short ride we’ll meet-up for lunch. Admission to the site is free. Carl Thomte | 303-753-6652 | rcarloski@msn.com Ride to Pawnee Sportsman’s Center located in Pawnee National Grasslands in Weld County for our annual “shooting on the range.” The facility charges a nominal fee of $15 for the use of their pistol and rifle ranges that includes several targets and stands to attach them to. There are covered shooting stations with bench rests and sand bags, moveable target stands and spotting scope rentals. Printed paper targets, common ammunition, and ear and eye protection are available for purchase. Range Address: 40914 Weld County Road 71, Briggsdale, CO 80611 Tom Flaherty | 303-406-1208 | taflaherty@comcast.net -- Bull’s Eye & Beemers Ride Disclaimer -Note: The BMWMCC Officers and Ride Leader(s), take no responsibility for the safety of the ride or the possibility of injury or death to any of its participants, including you.

The Prairie Canyon Ranch property was homesteaded by Frederick Bartruff and his family in 1873. It is now owned by Douglas County Open Space and has been used as a working cattle ranch since that time. We have had such great attendance for this ride and so many repeat requests, that we just couldn’t pass up doing it again. We will leave Morrison at 9:00 AM for the ride south. The 71 mile road built in 1920 runs from Sedalia on the north to Wetmore on Highway 96 at the south end. In that distance it passes through five distinct segments, including two stretches of rail grade. The Colorado Midland on the north and the Florence and Cripple Creek narrow gauge railroad on the south. Two of the three lines were built to service the mines in the Cripple Creek district, the latter having significant scenic and historic value. Riding these routes, it is easy to visualize what passengers experienced in the 1800’s while traveling to and from the district. We will also cross the highest auto bridge in the state and the unique three-section Adelaide railroad bridge. The property has a cave to explore, ranch house, barn and outbuildings typical of early twentieth century ranches with some uniqueness, including the Happy Days Saloon. The Ranch is located 6 1/2 miles south of Franktown on the east side of Highway 83. Come explore and bring a dish to share! www.douglas.co.us/historic/county-landmarks/prairie-canyon-ranch Pat Bygott | 303-349-3041 | pbygott@comcast.net Colorado 67 is not technical, but about half of the route is unpaved county road designating this as a dual sport ride. Lunch will be in Canon City and after, the plan will be to return via the Shelf road built in 1892 for the stage line. Total miles round trip is right at 250. Carl Thomte | 303-753-6652 | rcarloski@msn.com 12 BMWMCC 2014 Ride Book www.BMWMCC.org 13 MAY 24-26, 2014 OJO CALIENTE HOT SPRINGS, NM MEMORIAL WEEKEND 8:00 AM Red Rocks Grill, Morrison This was a popular Memorial Day ride that we dredged up from the old days of the club. Ojo Caliente is located on Highway 285 just south of Colorado border. MAY 31, 2014 PEAK TO PEAK ANNUAL RIDE 9:00 AM Red Rocks Grill, Morrison Designated in 1918, the Peak to Peak Scenic Byway is Colorado’s oldest Scenic Byway. The town features hotels, cottages, individual houses, suites, and camping. There is plenty to do besides soaking in the therapeutic hot springs. There are many great motorcycle roads nearby like Highway 4, arguably one of the best in the state. There are many National parks nearby as well, and one of the top Mexican restaurants in the nation is just a few miles away in Chimayo. Open up the fun season with this great ride. You won’t want to miss it! 800-222-9162 | Hot Springs Open 8:00 AM - 10:00 PM every day Carl Thomte | 303-753-6652 | rcarloski@msn.com We depart Red Rocks Grill picking up the actual Peak to Peak Highway in Nederland, after a short rest stop at the Happy Trails Coffee Shop, located inside the old wood railroad car. We follow this scenic route to CO 7, then make a left to Estes Park where we can all enjoy lunch at the Big Horn Restaurant. Riding options from this point are open to discussion as we could continue our adventure visiting Rocky Mountain National Park or take CO 7 past the Peak to Peak junction to Lyons. From Lyons we could head to Boulder, then head home from our awe-inspiring day of scenic riding.

Human Services Bldg. 900 Jefferson Co. Pkwy., Golden www.rideforkids.org This is the first year for this exciting ride that is sure to be an adventure. This is a rare opportunity to set foot in 8 states, cross over a dozen mountain passes, ride 2,000 miles and have more fun than you thought possible—all in a long weekend. This will be part ride, part scouting trip as there are no highways that reach three of Colorado’s four corners. 80% - 90 % of the ride will be paved roads, with the remainder on dirt roads. Anyone with a bike and the skills to ride forest service type roads should be fine. If you are on a street bike and/or don’t feel comfortable on dirt, there will be some alternate routes to meet back up with the group, but you will not be able to reach three of the four corners. We will meet for breakfast at the TNT Restaurant in Morrison at 7:00 AM on Friday, June 6th. We’ll leave no later than 8:00 AM. Our routes will be dictated by the road conditions, weather, the group, and of course, what looks like fun. We will head to the Northwest corner of the state first, which will be the hardest of the four. We will then target the Southwest corner, stopping somewhere along the way for the night. Cheap motels are the plan, but feel free to bring camping gear. We will hit “Four Corners” Saturday morning, then head east, zigzagging our way across the bottom of the state to the Southeast Corner. We will stay somewhere in the Southeast region Saturday night, then mount back up Sunday morning and travel north towards the last corner in the Northeast. We will work our way home Sunday afternoon, exploring some fun 2 lane roads—or you can get home faster via I-76 (but why would you?). Join us for the “adventure” of the year! Please RSVP to John and feel free to contact John or Greg with any questions.

There is no charge to ride in the Colorado event, but please remember you’re riding for kids with one of the deadliest forms of childhood cancer, so we encourage a minimum donation of $40 per motorcycle. It’s easy to raise funds! Just ask 10 friends for $10 each, and before you know it you’ll have enough to earn a ride T-shirt. If you raise at least $100 before online registration closes at noon Eastern on the Friday before the event, you’ll also earn an extra ticket for the prize drawing! JUNE 8, 2014 TOP GUN LAW ENFORCEMENT COMPETITION Jefferson County Stadium, North Parking Lot 2014 marks the 25th Anniversary of the Top Gun Cops Event. The Top Gun Competition is organized by the Blue Knights Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club. This is a motorcycle skills competition with riders competing in a number of obstacle courses designed to test their skills. Gates open at 7:00 AM, Ceremonies begin at 9:00 AM www.BMWMCC.org 17 JUNE 14, 2014 27TH ANNUAL RHUBARB ROMP & NEW MEMBER RIDE 7:15 AM Red Rocks Grill, Morrison This ride will be approximately 200 miles in length and will be entirely paved but with a dirt option for those interested. It begins by riding from Morrison to a pancake breakfast in Pine. For many years now, the Club has supported this fund-raising breakfast festival in Pine, Colorado. Plan on having your breakfast at the festival. From Morrison, it is a short 30 mile ride on Highway 285 to Pine Junction, turning south at the traffic light towards the town of Pine. The festival is right in the center of town where the Pine Grove Fire Department hosts an excellent full hot breakfast with all the fixings. It includes pancakes topped with rhubarb, of course, rhubarb pies and other goodies are also available. It is well worth the very reasonable price of breakfast. After spending approximately an hour at the festival, this year’s ride will resume by heading south from Pine to Woodland Park, then west on Highway 24. The dirt option will turn off north on Tarryall Road (CO 77), taking it north for 41 miles, rejoining Highway 285 and the group at Jefferson, CO. Road riders have done this route without difficulty. The paved only riders will continue on Highway 24 and take a short break at the top of Wilkerson Pass. From there, we continue on, turning north on Highway 9 until we rejoin Highway 285 at Fairplay. From there, it is Highway 285 north to Jefferson where we will join back up with the dirt riders. This is a likely lunch break location for hungry riders. For those interested in the PassBagger contest, road riders will have bagged five passes along this route. In order, they are Wilkerson, Trout Creek (ask at Wilkerson where to find this one), Red Hill, Kenosha, and Crow Hill. 18 JUNE 14-15, 2014 FIBARK WHITEWATER FESTIVAL 7:00 AM Red Rocks Grill, Morrison FIBArk “First in Boating on the Arkansas,” is the nation’s oldest whitewater festival started in 1949. This annual Salida signature event hosts a whitewater boating skills competition, procraft and homemade “boat” races, a celebration parade, plenty of great eats, a state-of-the-art amphitheater showcasing several live bands, beer tents, and local arts and crafts. And it all happens along the rushing river banks of the mighty Arkansas. Come gassed up and full of energy for this scenic, approximately 3-hour easy ride, headed southwest for a weekend-long water fun fest. Early to rise makes for a smooth start! The group leaves from Red Rocks Grill 7:00 am sharp. To ensure your stay, make reservations early. A recommendation is the Mountain Motel 719-539-4420 or visit www.mountainmotel.net.

This event is sanctioned by the Iron Butt Association as an official SaddleSore 1000 endurance ride.

Qualified finishers receive a commemorative award in recognition of their accomplishment and the opportunity to register with the Iron Butt Association for SaddleSore 1000 certification (additional fee applies). Entrants receive a route booklet at check-in, GPS is not required to navigate the route. st This year’s route features over 1004 miles of high country sweepers, curvy two-lane roads and scenic and historic byways, climbs mountain passes totaling nearly 140,000 vertical feet in elevation and crosses the Continental Divide at five locations. Eric Levy | 303-670-6073 | coloradoclassic1000@bmwmcc.org JUNE 21, 2014 GLENWOOD HOT SPRINGS & THE LONG WAY HOME 8:00 AM Red Rocks Grill, Morrison This is an all-day ride and the route described here will be approximately 375 miles in length. Riders will have return route choices, which could shorten the route by approximately 75 miles. Either way, it is entirely paved. The ride will leave at 8:00 AM sharp, travelling to the Glenwood Hot Springs via I-70. Arriving at the hot springs at 10:30 AM, we should avoid the hottest part of the day. We will have a 2-hour break in Glenwood where you can choose to visit the Fairy Caves, just soak in the hot springs, or both. We will leave Glenwood and double back to Minturn, arriving at about 1:30 PM for lunch at the Sticky Fingers Café. Leaving Minturn no later than 3:00 PM, riders can choose the more direct route home via I-70 or the planned route which heads south towards Buena Vista. The planned route travels over 2 passes (Battle Mountain and Tennessee Pass), on into Leadville, then Buena Vista, then north on Highway 285. Along 285, riders will cross four more passes (Trout Creek, Red Hill, Kenosha, and Crow Hill). The planned route should get us back to Morrison at 6:30 PM.

The street ride group departs from Red Rocks Grill in Morrison and the GS dirt ride group departs from Boulder. The destination is the Lazy Acres Campground next to the Encampment River in the tiny town of Riverside, Wyoming. Come join us for this annual ride to Wyoming and a fun overnight campout that is a club favorite. Cabins are available for those preferring not to camp. Call Lazy Acres 307-327-5968 to reserve your campsite or cabin or visit their website at www.lazyacreswyo.com. 8:15 AM Meet for Real Coffee - 8:30 AM Breakfast Served 9:00 AM Kickstands Up Last year’s GS ride was well attended and full of adventure. Our route took us through Red Feather Lakes, Cherokee Parkway, lunch at Albany, Wyoming Lodge, and a spirited ride through the Snowy range. The ride was both fun and educational as we had a couple of roadside tire repair clinics. A different but equally fun return route through Southern Wyoming/Northern Colorado logging and forest service roads was a great way to end the weekend. The routes are mainly on forest service type roads, so basic dirt riding skills would be fine. Weather and road conditions will dictate this year’s routes, subject to change at a moment’s notice and/or getting lost (part of the adventure). Route suggestions are always welcome. Contact John Coker with any questions about this ride and confirm your participation.

Thursday July 3rd We gather in Morrison, planning to leave at 9:00 AM sharp. We take 285 south to Johnson Village (near Buena Vista) where we regroup for a short break at the Coyote Cantina (on your right). From there it’s over Monarch Pass to Montrose, south again through Ridgeway and on to Ouray. This 285 mile ride is all scenic and puts us into Ouray early enough to get rested up for the next day’s activities. You need reservations for this sold-out event. Walking distance from the town center is best. Everyone has a perfect view as they go off right over our heads. Ouray sits in a bowl of mountain cliffs and the noise from the fireworks reverberates. It’s the BEST place for fireworks – very LOUD. Saturday, July 5th This is riding day. The best roads in the state are right here. It’s GS paradise with high-mountain passes galore. Road riding starts with the Million Dollar Highway, south over Red Mountain Pass into Silverton. Roads north and west lead to Telluride, Rico, Deloris, and Mesa Verde. Or, take the turn onto Highway 141, my personal pick for best ride in the whole state. End your riding day at one of the many hot springs, some of which are at the motels. Sunday, July 6th We will retrace our route out from Morrison, except bypassing Monarch Pass with CO 114 over North Cochetopa Pass. This return leg is 335 miles. Friday, July 4th Ouray is bustling with action. Activities in town start with a giant fund-raiser breakfast by the mountain rescue teams. Next comes a big main street parade, followed in the afternoon by their famous everybody-gets-soaked water fight, right in the center of town. It’s a series of fire-hose teams battling each other until one team gets knocked down. This is the don’t miss event and it’s worth the whole trip! As the sun goes down, there is a parade of pick-up trucks mounted with flares coming off Red Mountain Pass into town. The people are all out and when the last pick-up truck exits town, the fireworks display begins. 24 BMWMCC 2014 Ride Book IMPORTANT NOTE: Ouray books up early for the holiday.

The Rally is based in the small town of Paonia, Colorado just a mile off of Highway 133 along the West Elk National Scenic Byway on Colorado’s western slope. The town park serves as Rally headquarters and basecamp. Paonia is located 70 miles south of Glenwood Springs on CO Highway 133 or 27 miles from Delta via Highways 82 and 133. Paonia’s setting beneath 11,400 foot Mount Lamborn is nothing short of spectacular and is a great base from which to explore the tremendous variety of motorcycle roads tucked into the relatively small area of spectacular Southwestern Colorado. Riders can enjoy unparalleled scenery, explore the area’s history and experience great small town restaurant fare. Colorado Highways 133, 65, and 92 are rated as the most technical highways to ride in Colorado. There are also hundreds of miles of adventure riding, three National Parks, and eight National Scenic Byways close by. The park features mature shade trees and lush lawns for camping, support facilities, and a bandstand for evening entertainment. There are restrooms, showers and portable facilities in the park and the local high school. Quiet camping as well as limited (no hook-up) RV camping facilities are also available. For those preferring a soft bed, there are hotels and B&B’s nearby. Included in your rally registration fee is camping, live entertainment, complimentary dinner Saturday night, food vendors, beer garden, and the best riding in the nation!

We will ride as a group with maps and directions provided and will stop for lunch at Frisco or Leadville. Maybe some of the places on this ride are those you have always wanted to see but haven’t taken the time to stop, read the plaques, and honor those who have served our country so gallantly. This ride is influenced by the national Tour of Honor (www.tourofhonor. com) which provides a great reason to hit the open road, honor our heroes and contribute to a good cause. The season-long AMA-sanctioned event is a self-directed ride to memorials and monuments around the U.S. and you can visit as many sites as you want with any route you choose. Being registered for the ToH is not required to participate in this ride, but if you are signed up, bring your ToH flag along for photos because if any of the 2014 ToH sites are near our route, we might detour to them.

The event offers paved and dirt versions to accommodate the increasing number of dual sport riders. The total mileage for either route will be less than 500 miles. Registration is $35 and is limited to 200 riders. Included is a continental breakfast, catered dinner, commemorative t-shirt and pin and door prizes. Early registration is encouraged.

Who’s going to the Sturgis® Motorcycle Rally this year? One of the largest bike rally in the United States and for sure an experience of a lifetime. The rally includes concerts, races, bike shows, exhibits, organized rides, and a full schedule of entertainment. Tilford Gulch Campground in Piedmont is the place to stay! Included are newer shower facilities, food and beer on site, and free coffee in the morning. Reserve your campsite early. 605-757-5573 | www.tilfordgulch.com Siggi Pflumm | 303-674-1425 | siggip@msn.com The planned route will be to double back the way we came, making the total ride approximately 275 miles. The route out and back is essentially all riding in the mountains. Either way, it is entirely paved. We will leave Morrison at 9:00 AM andl head West on I-70 to exit 232, U.S. 40 towards Empire and Granby. We ride over Berthoud Pass, go through Winter Park, and past the town of Granby by about 2.5 miles to a right turn onto CO-125, a scenic ride that takes you over Willow Creek Pass and on into Walden. Watch out for deer, elk and especially moose; they are plentiful along this route and in the entire area around Walden. In the center of town is the rather unique River Rock Café, our destination for lunch. It’s one of those places you need to visit at least once. You can visit their website at www.waldenriverrock.com. There is an alternate route home if you leave Walden via CO-14. The first 90 miles or so are very nice riding, taking you over Cameron Pass, heading east towards Fort Collins. From there, south however, you are riding parallel to the foothills, all the way to Denver. Your choices basically are CO-287 or I-25. This route is also 43 miles longer and all of that is on straight roads or highways.

This is a three day ride with two nights of camping. We are working on the route, but count on several passes each day, both paved and dirt. Depending on the route, we will probably cover about 300 miles each day. Expect good and not-sogood dirt roads. This is not an “expert ride” but neither should it be your first dirt ride. We will leave Morrison at 8:00 AM on Saturday. Eat at the TNT with us earlier if you like. We’ll head out and ride over some passes, then camp Saturday night. Sunday, we’ll do the same. Monday should be a nice day to cross more passes, then ride back to town with no weekend traffic to fight! As usual you are welcome to join us, even if you can’t stay out for all three days. For more information or to register, contact Shu. We will probably camp in a KOA type campground (running water! hot showers! etc.), so I’ll need to know in advance how many people to make reservations for.

We head out Friday morning riding over passes and set up camp Friday night, then Saturday enjoy riding over more passes.

Begin the New Year with this popular “first ride” of the year to Rockyard Brewery Restaurant for lunch. The brewery is located in Castle Rock, west of I-25 and south of the outlet stores at exit 183. Riders from the BMWMCC, Pikes Peak BMW Riders and Rocky Mountain Motorcycle Riders Club converge on the brewery rain or shine. Join us! The PassBagger Quest is sponsored by BMW Motorcycle Club of Colorado and serves as a perpetual self-paced cumulative ride contest. It is perpetual in that the requirements can be completed over several years. The PassBagger Quest requires official registration and payment of $15 per person ($30 for 2-up), for each level of fifty passes for which the registrant will receive an instructional packet and pass accumulation booklet. The registrant must then ride to the top of at least 50/100/150/200 individual Colorado mountain passes of their own choosing at their own pace and schedule, then document the accomplishment with a photograph of themselves, their bike and the sign or equivalent located at the top of each pass. Upon completion, the ride must be entered in the completed PassBagger booklet indicating the names of at least 50 passes and the dates completed, with photographs. The booklet is then given to the PassBagger Coordinator who will authenticate the pass completions and certify eligibility for the award. Riders may choose any passes within Colorado as long as the pass appears on a published map or book. Because the contest is perpetual and not year specific, contestants may take as long as they want or need to complete. For more information visit the PassBagger page at BMWMCC.org.
