Please note that you may get a recording as the Inn does not reopen for the season until May.  They will return your call, however.  Make sure you mention that you are with the Ducati group to get the $110/night rate.

I'm going to have to do this one day, but fresh out of vacation days this year.  Hoping you'll post up lots of evidence, I mean pics, afterwards!

Giggity-giggity GOO!! I can't wait, I am doing this.  [thumbsup] [moto]

Wish I could go, but alas I cant. Hope you all have a good Grunder time.......  [laugh] [laugh]

OK, so work owes me $4500 for the my spring semester, so I gotta fight it till I get paid, or else I'd already have quit!!!  (Oh yeah house is sold no need to work)  If I can get those bastards to pay me prior to this weekend, then they can piss off, and I'm in!!!  Worse case if the hotel is full I gotta homeboy that lives down there!  fingers crosased that the corp bastard pays me, so I can go.  I'll be in ME next year w/ the New England Hooligans so this is my last op to do the Ouray trip.

Can I find out where the meeting place is and what time on the 15th?

I think it'll just be a ass ton of Ducati Hooligans decending on a small mountain town. Picture Sturgis with better looking people, I'd say classier too.... but I know some of us to well.  :-\
 [laugh]


Oh slightly smaller scale too.

So unless anyone here can hook me up with a GIS/Remote sensing internship in the next week, then I'm out, I had to call out of work this last sunday, and dont think they'd apreciate me calling out next Sun.  :-(  oh well , looks like no fun for me! 

brew

well make the beast with two backs brew!  that sucks!  was lookin forward to hangin with ya again. 

Hmmmmm  so I'm thinking riding down friday, spending the night, and coming back Sat could be a possibility?????  who's riding down from the Springs?

brew

edit.... doin' my own thing..... see yall there.

Can anyone tell me about the Ouray ride? Is it a rally for Colorado all of the country ? Big small ? What are the dates ? Or is there a web site about it? Anyone staying at the Vic?

This will be the third year for the event.

This years dates are this coming weekend, August 15, 16 & 17.

The past two years most people stayed at the Hot Springs Inn, but I believe that it is sold out for this coming weekend.

Last year there were about 40 bikes or so from CO, NM, AZ, CA, OR, ND, MN, and even a rider from Canada.

Not sure what the attendance will be this year as I'm not going.

Now that Randy isn't coming there will be 80 bikes, the Swedish Bikini Team and free desmo rides!  Come join us!  We have  [bacon]

[bacon]?? I'm so there, can't wait to hear the sizzle. and the other stuff is ok too.

WDB, if you don't quit typing in that rediculously small font, I'm gonna kick your bike over next time (wink wink, get it?  Sorry everybody, inside joke).

You better not, yours is a lot shinier and will show the dirt worse than mine.....








 ;D

Well, if I had known all that was happening...I may have changed my plans.  I may still.  Can I bunk with you, J?  ;D

The bacon reminds me of the burgers & breakfast next door at the campground  [thumbsup]

Actually, I have an empy bed...come on over...

Is anyone going to Ouray ? What time and where are people meeting ? I am thinking of going and staying at the Vic. Leaving around 9:00 a.m.

I'd be a little worried with that type of response!!!!   ;D  Then he'll be feedin ya' drinks all night long....and tellin ya' what a perty mouth you got!!!!  Just playin John!!!  But I do think that could have been worded a bit different!    BTW I'm still in a debate as to whether I'm headin down tomorrow or not, I thought about coming back Sat afternoon, or just rollin out with some springs folks as far as Salida, and then back.  Well I better figure something out soon.  Oh well off to the greens for me!  HAving 5 days off a week is rough!!!  To bad Sun and Mon are the days I work.

later,

brew   [drink]

Yeah, I'm heading out that way, probably the same time frame. I posted trying to see the same thing but no responses so I figured I'd just do my own thing.

I think there are lots going, just have not heard on a meeting place or time. Don't know where you're coming from but my husband and I live in Bailey and are taking off from here and will be getting on 285 about 8:00 am. Want to try and get ahead of this storm coming in.  Staying at the Ouray Chalet Inn. Have a safe ride and we'll see you there.

HEHEHEHE!!!!!  [evil] Storm riding!!!! A Rider On the Storm!!! Sorry I know a lot of people hate riding in weather but I've always liked the adventure, I don't know how the Monster will do yet, but I'm ok to find out. Gonna bring some cold weather gear and hope the roads don't get to slick.

Oh we've got the gear. Did a Canadian Rockies ride last year so we still have all the warm weather items! We'll be on an ST3. Got my own 695 this year but I am not a good enough rider nor do I feel comfotable enough to go to Ouray on my own so my husband is stuck with two up. I think next year I'll do it on my own. Ride safe, storm or no storm and I am sure we'll see you there.

Cant wait to meet you guys!!   It looks like both the Denver group and the New Mexico group should be in around 2ish on Friday.

Dont forget we are doing a BBQ on Saturday night at the Hotsprings Inn!

Thank you for the heads up about the BBQ, we will be there! Can't wait to meet you all too!

Rain rain rain [color=pink][/color] Any body fron the Springs go to Ouray?

Yeah I went.  [thumbsup] It was a great time, beautiful roads, and scenery. Awesome rides and fantastic people! Met a lot of wonderful people. The rain was more of a front range problem, till about Penrose. It was fun riding in the rain on brand new tires though!  :o LOL. On the way home yesterday I went through some sleet at the top of Monarch Pass, and if was chilly the whole ride. All in all a wonderful time that was well worth the time and effort. I'd encourage anyone who asked to go next year.  [beer]

that was some serious good spankin fun!!!
