CC Riders Motorcycle Club

This ride will be dependent upon county pandemic restrictions!

Ride Coordinator: Alan Bowman, (303)[masked]

Let's meet at Avalanche Harley-Davidson in Golden, one of our sponsors, at 9:00 a.m. with KSU 9:20 a.m.

We will head west up US 285 to Pine Junction; down US 67. Lunch will be at Hungry Bear in 67 and 24 in Woodland Park or if that is backed up we can ride on into Colorado Springs and have lunch at Rudy's BBQ; return route I-25 north from Highway 24 as far as Interquest Parkway then on to 83 and heading north up towards Parker avoiding the construction on I-25.

Please remember your masks!

Planning West Side Ride 2021 to be a 3-day/2-nighter, hub and spoke all-Colorado ride that will have us based for both nights in Gunnison. On Day 1, we'll ride from Morrison Phillips 66 to Gunnison via US 285 and US 50, over Kenosha and Monarch Passes, 184 miles. On Day 2, we'll choose one of the following: either (1) Gunnison to South Fork and back via US 50 and the CO 149 Scenic Byway over Slumgullion Pass and through Creede, 251 miles, or (2) Gunnison to the Grand Mesa and back, via US 50, and the CO 92 and CO 65 Scenic Byways through Crawford, Hotchkiss and Cedaredge, approximately 240 miles.

Now, should there be sufficient interest in extending West Side Ride to 4 days/3nights (Monday to Thursday), we could do both rides from Gunnison.

Rider proficiency: advanced beginner to intermediate. We'll be riding mountain passes and lots of sweepers and twisties in some of the most beautiful and lesser traveled parts of our state. So, some technical riding.

A check of motels in Gunnison and nearby show hotels are filling up with base rates in $104-$150 range, so, if you're interested, please RSVP or email me directly with questions. I'm staying at the Western Motel, 403 East Tomichi Avenue, Gunnison, CO CO 81230.

There will be a limit on the number of bikes (6) including myself, so don't delay if interested.

It's the 2nd FourThursday and it's BBQ time. We are going to Smokin' Dave's BBQ in Denver. Check out their website to see the awesome menu at https://smokindavesbbq.com/denver-menu/. Let's meet there for dinner and have some fun. They officially close at 8:00 p.m., but that doesn't mean they will be pushing us out the door. So bring your appetite and smiles.

Let me know by 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, June 22, if you are planning on attending so I can make a reservation - it works better not only for us, but for them too. Send me an email at [masked] and let me know how many will be with you. Bring a neighbor, a friend or your better half. There is plenty of parking.

Please remember to wear your masks!

This is an overnight ride.
We will leave from the Murphy Express on 144th at 8:15 am and head north on I-25. We will stop for gas in Cheyenne and again in Wheatland WY. We will head east, stopping in Gurnsey to see the Register Cliff and wheel ruts along the North Platte. We will continue east and stop at the Fort Laramie site before ending the day in Scottsbluff NE. You will need to find your own hotel (do it soon, rates are climbing), we are staying at the Super 8. After breakfast on Sunday we will head out, stopping at Chimney Rock. Heading south from there we will go down to Sterling and then head west back to the Denver area
