Well, we head out tomorrow for our summer job. We go to Cimarron, N.M. and work for the Boy Scouts at Philmont Scout Ranch. YES, I am trailering the Wing :action:

with my wifes car and the Scooter is on a motorcycle rack on the front of the truck. I will have to post a pic. I had a motorcycle rack built to haul it on. Another one I saw had a HD attached to the front of the truck. I have a 40 ' camper behind it. I hauled it last year and it did great. I can't wait to ride the mountains and get out of this heat. We have set record highs here the last few days. can anyone recommend good rides

in Colorado? If anyone is planning on ridingthru Cimarron, please letus know and we will treat ya. :waving:

You say your going into Colorado to ride???

Well then if you have the time, you gotta do the "Million Doller Highway". This is Rt-550 from Durango to Montrose. Or at least take it into Ridgeway.

Here are some links for it.

Hey Winger77, why not post the boat-load of pics from your ride last year? They were BEAUTIFUL!

I rode northern CO last year, [4 inches of snow on June 11th up there] so I can't add much to this route, except, DON'T FORGET YOUR CAMERA(S) !!

Winger77 is on the money. I'd recommend starting at Durango, north to Ridgeway, turn west to Placerville, then south again to Telluride. After a short visit to Telluride, back track out of town, then take Hwy 145 to Cortez, then back east to Durango. That in itself is a good days ride. You also need to take time for stops in Ouray and Silverton.
