    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

A terrific scenic ride for a Colorado summer:
Boulder, CO to Grand Lake, CO via Hiway 7 to Hiway 34. Super high pass, switchbacks, Alpine Tundra, lakes, valleys, wildlife.... you name it. All paved, patrolled, and clean.

not sure if that comes up enter "boulder, co to Grand Lake, co" as a search in maps to get the one I had here.

this is the route, except take Hiway 7 out of Lyons to Estes Park, then follow 36 on through. 36 all the way is definately nice, but 7 is nicer.

You will need a Parks Pass or to pay at the gate to Roosevelt National Park. I had an Eagle Pass, so i could go in to state and federal parks at will. Worth the money if you live in Colorado.

If your bike is a smaller displacement, you might have a little power problem at altitude. I put my fix in tips and tricks a while back if you like to see it.
 
I LOVE that ride! I did it on a borrowed GS in September a few years back. Started in Estes Park and did a loop west, south, east, and north. Skipped Boulder and came up the Peak to Peak. One on my favorite rides EVER.
 
hope to do that ride sometime myself! so what was your fix? I couldn't find it in the tips page??
