Hey there,

      I am looking to ride three of the highest roads on the same day!!!! 300+ miles 10 hours. I am looking at after the July 4th weekend so Saturday July 8th. 

1st stop Pikes peak 9 am (gate opens) this is important because you don't want to be caught behind cars and harleys. 

then up deckers to turkey creek to evergreen getting gas in conifer up do mount evans(weather permitting) then over to winter park.

That will be a great ride.  Mailman posted up some pics of his rides up P.P. - great views when it's clear.  It was quite hazy the day I was there.  At first I was hesitant to roll over to the sign for a photo, but in the gift shop they said "go ahead!" and I got some encouragement from onlookers so I went for it.  Like they say, photo or it didn't happen!   Enjoy - should be a great ride!

I'd would be up for it. Let's be honest-it's more like 550 miles round trip.
