Returning to Torrey

(click to view)

Overview

I recently tweeted about heading back to Torrey, Utah to ride for three days with fellow BMW riders this September. It has been five years since I last rode in Torrey with a great group of experienced and well-traveled riders. I’ll be looking to meet up with Brant - an old friend and fellow rider (arriving from the south). Actually, its due to Brant’s influence that I got into riding and if I didn’t have to code as much as I do, I would spend all my days traveling every scenic road this world has to offer (paved or not)!

Details

Anyway, if you are interested in joining in on the fun, here are the details:

• When: September 24-26, 2010 (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday). Departure is at 8am at either my place or some central location that works for everyone involved.
• Where: Torrey, Utah
• Lodging: The options are many. I prefer to camp, so will be looking to book a camp site at the Wonderland Resort RV Park (435-425-3775, Junction of Highways 12 & 24). I’ve stayed there several times. Great place. They have shower facilities if you need them.

Route

The whole point of Torrey (as with any trip) is not the destination but the routes to get there and back. Here is a rough idea what I’m thinking about taking to get there. I’ve traveled many of these roads, so if you haven’t experienced these roads yet, you’re in for a real treat:

Registration

If you are interested in joining and are based in the Front Range area (Boulder, Denver, Colorado Springs, etc) let me know and I’d be happy have you along. The more the merrier! It does help if you are on a BMW bike but any type of rider is welcome as long as you are comfortable traveling 500+ mile days.
