Turkey sandwich ride 11/24

It looks like a couple of us are going to be doing a ride on 11/24. Please consider this an open invitation to pack a turkey sandwich or two and join us.

When: 11/24/2012 (yes, Saturday)

Where: Departing from Canyon Coffee - 1791 S. Eighth Street, Colorado Springs, CO. 9:00am. Old Stage and Gold Camp roads to Cripple Creek, then out around SE Park County. Probably just cruise back to CS on Hwy 24 from Lake George. Folks from Denver metro can bail on Hwy 285 or 67 to make a bigger loop if they want.

What: It'll be roughly 70/30 dirt to pavement with the hardest part being two track with a couple of mildly rocky and sandy sections. Mostly easy with about 5% intermediate. This will be most of the dirt riding: http://advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=824521

Count me in! Saturday looks to be a decent riding day.

I have applied for a kitchen pass from the Missus, pending approval I am also in.

i had talked with kitchen commander was told to put in a pass , If all goes well ill be going .

2 more klrs will meet you all Saturday . it was clear in the sun last weekend but snow in the shady areas ..

That's great. Looks like we're going to have a decent sized group.

Unfortunately, Lady Eton-Hogg as informed me that we are are entertaining guests at Hogg Manor that day so I wont't be able to make it, sorry, have a good ride.

pending any other options i will try to join this ride. riding in from boulder area it will take me ~2hrs to get there. wait up, i might need to stop for gas

ill be servicing the bike today getting her ready for tomarrow .. is it Saturday yet ?

Looks like it's going to be a good one.

one of the best rides i had this year. i must have done >350 miles. came home pretty tired. my android somehow swallowed most of my pics, and GoPro battery died through most of fun stuff. i'll post some from GoPro later when i get to sort through them and upload them.
nice meeting everyone, would like to do it again!

Yes it was a very fun ride. Thanks for leading CJ! A great group of people. Hope to ride with you all again sometime. I had several first's for a day ride on the KLR. First sun up to sun down all day ride. 310 miles indicated total. Worst mileage ever in the morning between Morrison & CS, 40 (mostly 70-75). 2 gals for the 80 miles. Best mileage ever from CS to Victor, to Hartzel, to Lake George, to Woodland Park to Deckers to Sedalia to home, 56 (max indicated speed 80). 4 gals for the 235 miles. Most oil used in one day 1/2 sight glass. Probably from the first 80 high speed miles. I'm ready to go again. When's the next ride?

Great ride! Thanks to everyone for coming out. I totally spaced the camera too. Looking forward to seeing some pictures if anyone has any. Maybe we can do an "end of the world ride" on 12-21-12 if the hills aren't packed with snow by then.

I dont know what kind of fuel that dr350 had but it wasnt petrol... i was doing 75 -80 mph and he was pulling away lol..

well this time loctite held but bolts didnt in the luggage top rack .. I didnt get any pictures other than the parking lot on side of the road on 67 ..
