I commute on the bike every day so most of the time I'm lame and just want to sit at home and read or something, but if prodded I'm usually eager to go out and ride new and familiar twisties alike. Haven't done much at all with the SV yet, so I'm likely to be extra slow on that for a little bit.

Trailer out and spend a week if you're going to Deal's gap. Still looking at trying to do that again this year.

AR: Def, how good are you with doing a possible extended weekend?

Colorado?

I know we've been bullshitting about this on aim but figured I'd toss it out here too in case there were any other AR or CO people who wanted to chime in on it. Pretty sure I've located some sweet deals on Cabin's in both area's. AR for sure. CO I'd have to check on again.

Summer rates for places in the mtns in colorado are usually pretty reasonable.

I know a couple people that have condos in Breckenridge, let me ask them if i could get a a deal on renting one for a couple days to a week late next summer.
Like say around labor day.

If this happens let me know. I was planning to go to CO for a week or so sometime mid-late summer for trail riding and general "holy poo poo I'm in the mountains!!! " camping. Staying in a cabin would kinda take away from it a little but still be fun as hell.

Yeah I want to do some camping up there as well. Used, wouldn't there still be a ton of snow and it'd still be cold around Labor Day? I was thinking Colorado probably more late Junish say for a 5 day weekend. Trailer out and whatnot.

Needknees: Would love to do the camping thing too. Would lean more towards a non primitive camping site(showers) for doing that, probably about the same amount of time. Gotta get my tent sold and get a different one first though.
