DaveT's #6 Ride: Front Range Canyons Run 335 miles (if you do them all) SUMMARY: Canyons, Canyons, Canyons! Up, Down, Up, Down, Up, Down! Around and Around, Around and Around, Around and Around! That just about sums up this ride up and down the canyons of the Front Range of the Rockies...

DaveT's #5 Ride: Pikes Peak Run 216 miles SUMMARY: "Pikes Peak or Bust" -- this is the goal of gold-miners in the 1850s and now the goal for many FJR riders visiting Colorado in 2008. Wow, some difference in the transportation methods, that's for sure. Lt Zebulon Pike never made it to the...

DaveT's #4 Ride: Poudre Canyon Run 315 miles SUMMARY: The primary ride for today is "Poudre Canyon," but you'll have a nice ride to and from the canyon also. Riding north along the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, you'll pass the beautiful "Flatirons" and then through the beautiful town of...

DaveT's #3 Ride: Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) Ride Version 1: 220 miles Version 2: 270 miles SUMMARY: Version 1 -- Prepare for a most awesome day if you do this ride to Rocky Mountain National Park and ride Trail Ridge Road, the highest continuous paved road (over 12,000 feet) in...

DaveT's #2 Ride: Taste of Colorado (aka The Butt-Kicker) Ride 510 Miles SUMMARY: Join your FJR friends for one heck of a "Taste of Colorado" Ride, or as many of us Colorado Riders also call it, the "Butt-Kicker" Ride. This will be a long day with lots of great views, twisties, sweepers, and...

The NAFO Organizing Team and Webmaster are working on potential rides for the event, but living in this area and having ridden most of the roads nearby, I decided to go ahead and post some of the ones that I thought might get your juices flowing. Again, these may vary from what gets posted on...

Looking good. Gonna be fun. Great to be able to scan the map and see from where folks are coming.

I live about 75 miles away and am registered and will also be staying at the Marriott -- at least that is the plan. Yep, if you do any kind of meals in one of these big hotels it does get expensive unfortunately. I'm doing a similar event for Gold Wings out in western Colorado (much easier in...

And wait until you see the rides out of Golden -- you know the roads, but to have them listed is pretty awesome. I think folks will be very pleased if they do any of them, but there are a couple of them that will rock and roll.

A lot of great rides are planned for NAFO 2008, and it is impossible for you to do all of them unless you extend your stay in Golden -- something worth considering. Additionally, there are a lot of other great rides (especially in southwestern Colorado) that you just can't do as day rides from...

Did the same thing with the boots when I purchased my FJR. The following work well -- why Yamaha does nto install them I'll never know. Got them from J&P Cycles: PRODUCT NUMBER/ (SEE QUANTITY QUANTITY UNIT DESCRIPTION BELOW) ORDERED SHIPPED PRICE STATUS Part 4420105...

In Laughlin, NV that weekend for the Laughlin River Run!

Always heavy, but not bad if you avoid rush hour (7-9am, 3-7PM).

I presume you mean coming from the south on I-25 since it runs north/south. If coming to Golden and are on I-25, you'd get off in Castle Rock at US-85N and take that north through Sedalia to C-470, then west on C-470 to I-70 for the couple of miles to the Marriott. If you are coming from the...

Yep, you'll want to avoid I-70 and I-25 through Denver during rush hour in the morning and evening for sure. Since we are on the west side, we should not have any issues. As for construction on I-25, the TREX project on I-25 was completed about a year ago and you can generally make it through...

I had originally included the summaries that I had written, but the Ride Committee wants to hold off and publish all of the information on the rides on the web -- should make a big impact. I'm not sure what all they are doing, but I've given them some good information (sometimes I'm even anal...

A good thing to do on a cold Colorado day -- build a couple of more rides for NAFO.

Looks like fun, but probably not for me. Wonder if you could do it on the FJR -- now that would be a ride!!!!

I think I got GZ excited today based upon his post. I sent him and fjrchik a couple of long routes (but awesome I might add) and am working on a few shorter routes. I included GPS files of the routes, a few photos, turn-by-turn directions, and a summary. Be sure to submit YOUR favorite...
