Calendar **2019** Taylor Lake Colorado Group Ride [Sep 6, 2019] (CO)

[Cuoutdoors]

We rode two days there... left for 5 and came back. I think Colorado would be a cool overland ride.

Speaking of that are we gonna do a Colorado overland? I told @joeymt33 I'd plan if he wants.

There’s been plenty of pictures posted in this thread along the trail that give an idea of trail conditions and Alan posted a specific rating chart. There’s really no reason for anyone to have a false impression of what riding will be like up there, and hell, there’s endless go pro videos and forums on line for people to look at for very detailed information and visuals of what those trails are like. Looks like this summer a guy could hit trail rides in Idaho, Utah, Colorado and New Mexico lol. Too many rides, too little times.

Yes.. but from what I’m seeing it’s mostly less challenging riding. Let’s remember we don’t all have the same standard of what technical is. I recall a “rock crawling” trail that was no more than a couple hundred yards of riprap. I’ll do both if I can but September doesn’t look good. Also, @Alan are there any width restrictions?

I’m not trying to dissuade anyone, I haven’t been there... just be sure to do your research and know what to expect. Right, @JCMINIS ?

I'm with you @JTW ,I want everyone to do some you-tubing and see if this ride is for them. I don't want anyone to travel that far and be disappointed.

Yep, I haven’t read negative reviews from wheelers, only from people that drive the trails in 4 wheel drive trucks, you know those city slickers that own Z71’s but never use 4 wheel drive. They’re on trip advisor saying the trails are too rough.....

No width restrictions.

Right ! We still had a good time though !

No width restrictions.

I need to add there is a unused back trail to Lily Pad Pond that does not have a width restriction but rather a large onion restriction and my onions are not big enough to go all they way and yes I did have to back down hill.

Well, the guy I talked to a couple months ago was wrong. Remi called yesterday and got a different message, so I called too and the voicemail is saying March first before they will be taking reservations again.

Free camping?

 

[Montecresto]

Free camping?

Maybe, but what’s your point..

 

[Alan aka Davinci]

Free camping?

If you find a dispersed camping spot.

 

[Montecresto]

If you find a dispersed camping spot.

Or camps along the trail.....
