| 7/23-7/29 Colorado DS Rally on COBDR | |
| By: DaveKubler Date: June 1, 2014, 2:11 pm | |
| --------------------------------------------------------- | |
| Thanks Rusty ! Well, as I have put 21,000 miles on my first | |
| dual sport (2012 KLR) mostly in Montana, I can tell you MT is a | |
| super place for a dual sport. I am sure I will enjoy it even | |
| more with the KTM :) It hopefully will be here within 2 | |
| weeks. I actually am organizing a rally in CO starting July | |
| 23rd-29th....riding the COBDR. I started it via a KLR owners | |
| group, but alot of folk are coming on different bikes | |
| (including myself the rally organizer...lol ). I can post some | |
| info here... if you think a better thread for it , cool. | |
| Here is the info for the rally : ***** Don't worry | |
| about the ole KLR gang...... cool bunch of guys going ***** | |
| [color=orange][size=12pt]First Annual KLR 650 Owners Group rally | |
| @ the COBDR | |
| Dates: Wed July 23rd � Tue July 29th. ** kickstands up @ 9 AM | |
| ** | |
| Meet/Departure Location: Cortez, CO Tuesday July 22nd. | |
| Hotel for night before (July 22nd) : Knights Inn Cortez (holding | |
| rooms for us) BOOK EARLY !!! | |
| Dinner/meet: TBD | |
| Grouping/rider levels: TBD at meeting | |
| Giveaway/Prizes: at meeting (only those present at meeting | |
| will be eligible) | |
| Rally Memorabilia : Hats/Tshirts/Hoodies | |
| http://cobdrgear.spreadshirt.com/ | |
| Stickers: $5.00 PAYPAL to [email protected] with a note | |
| �COBDR sticker� and I will ship one out | |
| Route Planning/Mapping : Although it CAN be done in 5 | |
| days/nights�I am allotting 7 days for this trip. This is not a | |
| race, if you wish�you can race ahead ! We will be following the | |
| COBDR whenever possible. There will be alternate routes, and | |
| everyone is free to ride and follow what ever they want. The | |
| GROUP will follow the COBDR, and will not entertain debates | |
| about where/which way to go. There will be plenty of maps | |
| about, plus GPS units galore. I personally will be able to | |
| follow via my GPS (proven method on the UTBDR) and will be happy | |
| to take lead if appropriate. | |
| Camping/Hotels : The official GROUP will be planning/expecting | |
| to be trailside camping. That does not mean we won�t be at a | |
| campsite 1 or more nights�.but I do not want to PLAN on that, be | |
| prepared for non campsite camping. There ARE hotels that can be | |
| found near the route. However, remember if you are planning on | |
| using hotels, it will be YOUR job to make it back to the group | |
| in order to ride together. We will be deciding official �roll | |
| out� times to break camp as to be able to have hotel folks be | |
| able to coordinate how to meet up We will make efforts to make | |
| camp in areas where meeting back up is appropriate. I will say | |
| again, using hotels MAY cause difficulty in leaving/joining back | |
| up with the group. We may be better suited letting the hotel | |
| folk ride together� | |
| Contact Info: (good idea if we share our cells�texting when in | |
| service will be a very good way to communicate) | |
| FYI: As this is not a paid event, no fees collected�and no | |
| promises of any �service��..this is merely a gathering of like | |
| minded riders. Everyone is responsible for their own safety and | |
| security, and no-one ( ME ) but yourself can and should be held | |
| responsible for your own misjudgments. Have fun�.but know and | |
| ride within your capabilities. I am sure there will be someone | |
| willing to ride a slower pace. | |
| I look forward to riding with all of you. | |

| I won't be able to make the ride as those days coincide with my | |
| family Vacation. That said, my SO and I will likely be up above | |
| Taylor park on the 690 riding Jeep trails and I'd like to take | |
| her over lily pond trail on it as well. Maybe we'll see you guys | |
| up there! | |
