I'll be leaving Greeley tomorrow morning to ride to Tombstone for the beginning of the Southern California Motorcycle Association's Three-Flags Classic Ride. I did the 2014 edition of the ride from Tucson to Harrison Hot Springs, British Columbia, and am looking forward to finally getting a long ride in 2016.
I'll be taking US-285 out of Denver and riding over Kenosha Pass, across South Park, through Fairplay, over Trout Creek Pass, and then just south of Buena Vista. I'll go through Alamosa, and Manasas (the little town boxer Jack Dempsey came from), Espanola, just west of Santa Fe, through Albuquerque, and spending a night in Los Lunas, NM, after a 500-mile day.
On Wednesday, I'll have 420 miles left to the Quality Inn in Sierra Vista. Thursday will be messing around in Tombstone, getting my 3-Flags Passport made and attending the pre-ride banquet and the rider's meeting. I'll leave Sierra Vista at about 5 on Friday morning to get to the start checkpoint by 5:30 AM. From there, the first day's ride will take me to Aztec, NM, just NE of Farmington. Saturday will take us to the checkpoint at the Harley-Davidson dealer in Green River, UT, and then I'll spend the night at a Motel 6 in Rock Springs, WY. Day 3, Sunday, the ride is to Helena, MT. On the last day, we'll ride to the Chief Mountain border crossing into Canada, through Pincher Creek, Alberta, and finish at Kimberley, BC, for a total mileage of 1893 miles.
Tuesday night is the post-ride banquet and on Wednesday, I'll be heading towards Woodburn, OR, for a visit with Eldon Cannon (Ex-Winger on our Forum). It looks like I'll be able to have lunch with Coyote Chris as I go through Spokane. Frosty will be on the road with his wife going to Crater Lake and on to Reno for the races.
