RAA WEST 2020

Ok, we are now set for location and dates! Below is the proposed itinerary: Just copy and paste the "HTTPS" data for each day into your Google Maps.

Day 1 = 12 September - through 19 September

It lives!

Only 8 months to go . . .

Don't forget to consider Labor Day crowds?

Just make it on my days off

I really don't have a preference, other than for optimal weather, I'm going to research the historical record before I vote

Labor Day will likely restrict available rooms. Hunting seasons are another consideration, some areas in Colo. & Wyoming turn into a circus over it, generally that’s the last half of Sept. and coincides with the rut and cooler weather.
Sept. 12-19 might be be a good choice based on those factors as long as we don’t schedule ourselves into a hunting area on opening week...or maybe that would be a good thing, can I carry a rifle on a bike?

I have ridden them all in September, many times.
We'll have a very good likelyhood of excellent weather.
The 10K foot passes of CO can be cool (45 - 55 ish) but dry and very tolerable.

I like the idea of the warmer weather in early September but definitely not around the Labor Day holiday.

Labor Day is Sep 7th, so perhaps one of the weeks following when the kids are back in school? Travelers on the roadways will drop way off.

I know, I've ridden them mid July and seen snow.
I just meant how much the average weather cools during the course of September.

I like your idea to research the September weather.
I know for the UT ride the high part is on 12 between Boulder and Grover.

Would folks like rough draft routes of the 3 ride proposals?

 

[Tripps]

Certainly
