Gail can't come, so it's just me. Which means I'll be happy to share the cost of a cabin or tent site. Clean, quiet, sober elderly gentleman, nonsmoker, nonsnorer.

Utrider · « **Reply #62 on:** August 25, 2019, 01:44:57 PM »

I will be there, I may have a friend joining me. I will let you know next Tuesday for sure.

Seth - you’re welcome to share the Kabin (hey, it’s a KOA) with me. I don’t know what furniture is in it, but I’m sure there are multiple beds of some kind. Dennis

Testarossa · « **Reply #64 on:** August 25, 2019, 03:12:16 PM »

Thanks, Dennis. Count me in. Those cabins have bunk beds. I'll leave the tent at home.

Sorry - Can't be there. I'm having minor med issues with eyes

& personal plumbing. No long rides.

Also, the Norge is laid up 90 miles away @ Dealer in in Prescott AZ with electrical gremlins. Great bike when it's running but Wish I had my 750 Breva back !!!.

Godspeed to all who are going for a safe and joyous round trip.

Dharma Bum · « **Reply #72 on:** September 01, 2019, 12:01:51 PM »

MotoGeezer,
Sorry to hear about your issues. Your Breva will be making the trip, though.
Michelle says hi!

alanp · « **Reply #73 on:** September 03, 2019, 04:28:37 PM »

Only 2 days out. Not sure everyone will see this, it if you do please help me pass the word at the campground.

We will be meeting for dinner Thursday night, 6:00 PM at the Ouray Brewery, 607 Main Street. I would like to have a brief orientation meeting at the brewery, and will going over our ride options with everyone, including handing out maps, etc.

Looking forward to seeing you there, have a safe ride!

Well, that is unfortunate, although I am not sure that big of a difference from past versions of this event. All we have ever done is to tell folks to ask to be placed with the Moto Guzzi group when they make their reservation. Some people don't ask, and I suspect some of the folks who answer the phone don't know about us anyway. As a result, there have usually been a few folks scattered about. Good news is we are easy to find, just look for the Guzzis!

Were you able to make a reservation? If not, I'll bet there is someone who will have campsite or cabin they could share.

Sorry I can't make it, fellas. Red had a death in the family, and I'll be at a funeral tomorrow.

Y'all have a good ol' time up there. I know I'd enjoy some cool Rocky Mountain air this week! It's hot and humid, here in The Hills.

Today, Saturday, we will ride to Crawford for lunch.
Dinner tonight at 6:00 at True Grit in Ridgeway.

Testarossa · « **Reply #81 on:** September 07, 2019, 04:36:30 PM »

Depending on how you count, we had 12 or 13 Guzzis in attendance at various times.

This is on one of the passes en route to Mancos for lunch on Friday:

Lunch at Mancos:

At Hermit's Rest, one of the highest points on Colorado Rte 92 along the north rim of the Black Canyon.

Also at Hermit's Rest:

What a great time it was. I had a blast! We had great weather and lots of great riding and conversation.

Putting on rain gear in Rico, the much admired V85 in the foreground. Fortunately the dark clouds amount to little.

After a ton of wonderful curves, Taking a much needed break on CO92.

Dinner at True Grit in Ridgeway Saturday.

Asking Dawdish to check in. Did you get the bike started and make it home OK?

alanp · « **Reply #84 on:** September 08, 2019, 09:02:14 PM »

I enjoyed meeting up with you guys in Ouray on my loop back into CO. Nice bunch of folks in a beautiful location. Thanks to Dave for the recommendation to go over Cottonwood Pass on my way back to Colorado Springs. I even enjoyed the hail storm just west of the summit on the fresh pavement

.

Utrider · « **Reply #89 on:** September 10, 2019, 12:24:01 PM »

Thanks Alan for making this happen! Great folks to ride with, and great roads with beautiful scenery. Tough to beat the San Juans. Look forward to seeing you all in Utah next September.
