I am sure most of you are members of sport-touring.net and already know this - but they are having thier National Meet this year in Montrose Colorado. Thats MY BACKYARD! well 370 miles away anyway. I went to the first ST.N meet in South Dakota and just had a blast, froze my butt off in that cold rain but had fun meeting the 50 plus group that showed up.
I thought I would put out the word to anybody intrested in comming to this rally.
(IMG:http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/uploads/westslope/montrose.jpg) all these places are within 2 hours ride, streets & trips file
There are some great rides around Montrose for this years ST.N meet. Some of Colorado's best riding is along the Western slope
The Black Canyon The Million Dollar Highway The Silver Thread Loop Slumgullion, Lake City to Creede Cotchetopa Canyon The Grand Mesa The Uranium Highway and More, of course Utah, New Mexico and the four corners is wide open too.
I have video of most these Places

cbar, Feb 9 2005, 09:07 PMThat's an ambitious trek Corbeau - I'd love to join ya if I could get the time.
Yeah, other Canucks on the board !!! Any of you members of ONVFR or Club VFR Qu�bec (Corbeau, �a sonne pas mal fran�ais...)
Did a trip out on the West Coast 2 years back... Took me exactly 3 days to get from Denver CO to Montreal PQ, along HW 70 through St-Louis (slept there on the first of 3 nights), then up HW86 IIRC to Syracuse (second stop for one night), and I then crossed into Canada in Kingston to head home in Montreal.
3 days of a blistering heatwave (close to 38 celsius all the time) and nothing but straight roads... good thing I didn't me any Highway Patrol !!!
Anyhow, you enjoy your trip !!! I sure did mine... 15000 kms in 3 weeks (actually, about 2 weeks driving, the rest visitin'...), Yosemite, San Fran, Death Valley, Grand Canyon & Bryce Canyon, Arches Ntnl Park.... I'd go back any day !!!
Sorry for the thread-jack, 'Slammer, but I have to reply to P.O. ;) Yeah, ONVFR lister here. Jean-Fran�ois' my real name, I was born in MTL... When I take possession of my VFR, I'll probably get in touch with the Club VFR du Qu�bec, Outaouais chapter. Probably won't rally with them, as I'm fairly booked this summer* and I don't want Ms. Corbeau to have her lawyer on speed dial... * Planned out-of-town, multi-day rides: Parry Sound Sportbike Rally, ST-N National, ESTN in Vermont, C5, WDGAH 8 maybe, "get there check it out 10 minutes and come back" to either Americade or Laconia... Give me a second, I'll start a topic on this...
February 17th - ACCOMODATION DETAILS POSTED! See below for details February 14th - REGISTRATION HAS BEGUN...WOOT! See below for details

As mentioned previously, we have an energetic Committee dedicated to hosting the biggest and best National event to date. We've signed off on specific tasks although this list may evolve over time.
