Is it too early to start organizing caravans to get to Ouray next year?
It's going to be a 2 day drive for me. I wouldn't mind meeting up with people along the way so we can ride into Ouray together.
My route will take me down I-80 from eastern Iowa to western Nebraska. I plan on peeling off on I-76 to Denver and then I-70 towards western Colorado. I'm not sure what the best route would be once I get west of Denver but I'm sure someone has a good suggestion. Google maps has me going to Grand Junction on I-70 and south on US-50 to Ouray. Though it looks like there's a couple routes to go through Buena Vista and Poncha Springs that might be better than droning along on the interstate.
I have two thoughts on timetables. The first is to make the ~1130 mile trip in two days. I'd leave home in the morning on the 16th, stop in far eastern Colorado, then pick up the trail again in the morning, stopping in Denver for early lunch with my cousin, and getting into Ouray in the evening on the 17th.
My second thought would be to leave on the 15th and get a couple hundred miles knocked off, getting to at least Nebraska. From there, I'd get to Denver and stop to visit my cousin for the night. That would give me more time to enjoy the trip from Denver through the mountains to Ouray.
What do y'all think? Anyone interested in joining up with a caravan?
