Days are pretty much open. I would guess a weekend will be involved so could be Thursday - Tue, Fri - Wed
Tue - Sun. etc.

I say that because it means burning less vacation time for lots of people.

Skippy I am neither single with no kids or retired.

But I make at least one big trip a year chance to unwind refresh etc. Then one big trip with the family.

Spread the word to the HAR forum if anyone there wants to go.

OK I have been working on the route and I think I have a pretty good one lots of twisty roads including million dollar HWY, Independence Pass and some others!

The way I have it right now we would leave on the 16th and ride to Clovis NM (aprox 600 miles)

Day 2 leave Clovis head to Lake City (aprox 400 miles)

Day 3 Lake City to Fraser (aprox 400 miles) This day we will  hit million dollar hwy aspen and independence pass should be an amazing day!

Day 4 Fraser to Manitou Springs (aprox 300 miles) On this day we will go through the Rocky mountain National Park and past Echo Lake.

Day 5 Manitou Springs to Abiline (over 600 miles)

Day 6 Abiline to home (aprox 300 miles)
