Well I have made up my mind as to what direction this years big trip will take me. I am putting this up in the preliminary stages to help any other members here (Like Hail and Lytehouse) that may want to meet up somewhere along the way.
Dates: July 26th depart Calgary with the 30th for Steamboat Colorado (ETA). Returning to Calgary for the 10th of August.
Telluride Colorado on or about the 2nd of August.

Some of the fun bits. The RED track is the infamous Black Bear Pass!
I will add the gps tracks when I get home, now that we have that capability.
There will be most of the Colorado Back Country Discovery route included in the run: Done in reverse order with section 5 first. Like below.
Colorado Backcountry Discovery Route (COBDR)
COBDR - Section 5 - YouTube
COBDR - Section 4 - YouTube
COBDR - Section 3 - YouTube
COBDR - Section 2 - YouTube
There will also be some nice sections of pavement as well. Any FZ forum members wishing to add local advice, please feel free. Any that want to join some, or all of the Colorado part of the ride post up. This is a dual sport ride that is suitable for large bikes with semi-skilled (or adventurous) riders.
More to come. The attached file is complete and divided into days. It will give you something to work with . The Colorado sections are now complete, and running in the correct direction.
