I'm looking to hook up with any of you Colorado Western Slopers between
7/9-16.

MattB is trying to find a day but if anybody else is interested let me know.

Craig? JD?

I'm not a great technical rider but consider myself a strong rider.

I'll be in the Ridgway area but not opposed to driving for a few hours.

Gary

About all I know in that immediate area (Ridgeway) is pretty
technical. If Matt can ride the 9th or 10th, you can probabaly count
me in. Does triple digit vertical exposure trip you out?

Trips me out only if I'm going down ! I prefer not to become a Miles
Jr...... I climb ok but don't do step type (technical) climbing worth a
damn.
Unfortunately Matt will be visiting with his inlaws on the 9th/10th but
we're still talking about a midweek afternoon ride somewhere. The following
weekend is still up in the air for me as I've been told the family and I are
camping near Silverton with our Colorado neighbors. (see me pack the Subaru
for a weeks stay plus all our camping [censored].....ughh)

Yeah, I might be able to make the time, just keep me in the loop.

Plenty of stuff around that area, lots of long high altitude climbs.
I'll go look at my book.

I found an extra day in there and don't work the 7th-10th and
afternoons are best for a night dweller such as myself.

I'm driving up on the 9th from Phoenix and won't get to my place until 4pm.
I'm tenatively setting up an afternoon ride with Matt on the 12th (Monday)
near CB or Gunnison depending on where Matt wants to ride.

If it works better for you I can head your way for a ride near GJ on
Saturday (10th). I'm also free the following weekend as our camping trip is
in August. I'll even buy the after ride beer.

You can email me directly at [email hidden] and of
course, take out the nospam.

Craig-

I'm riding with Matt up in Gunnison on Monday the 10th at 5 p.m. Seems he
blew out the rear shock on his FS so he'll be on his SS. See my response to
JD, it has my real email addy.

I'm interested in hearing about any trails you might know of in the Ridgway
area, too. I plan on being on the bike everyday if my wife gives me the ok.

I'm ok to drive to Durango as well the following weekend (17/18) as the
family likes to visit Durango or if we can convince Matt and JD to ride
somewhere that weekend I'm still offering to buy the after ride beer.
(bribery is such a dirty thing)

I can ride in Gunnison on Monday evening with you and Matt. I'll even
bring the SS so Matt doesn't feel left out... Tuesday, I can trip
down to Ridgeway and show you something cool close to that area, or if
you want to come up GJ way there's always something cool to ride up
high around here this time of year.

I'm meeting Matt at his place at 5:00 p.m. We can discuss the Tuesday
plans then or if you would prefer earlier planning let me know. I'm
flexible with any plans. I've made myself a commitment to ride as much as
possible since I was so lazy last trip up.
