Million Dollar Ride

Got to ride it last year. I was in a group from the Colorado 500 charity ride. Older "gentlemen" in the group and I use the term to describe their general demeanor, not their riding. WTH!!! These guys can ride!! One guy is 81 and on a GS and he was NOT holding anyone up. I am 4th in line and just keeping up. Great road. Great group of guys. Wish I had a video of it but the ones posted here will suffice.

Road this on my bicycle quite a few years ago starting in Durango going thru Silverton. Sun, Rain, Sleat, Snow. it was a horrible day until we started downhill on this road... & then it was all worthwhile.

Its been a few years - 2009 for me I think, at the 1st CoSToc. I'm overdue for a re-ride

Thanks for the great videos all - and for getting it started Gerhard.

Nice!

Thanks for posting, watching that video just makes me long for more rides in that area. Had a great time last year, looking forward to this year. I Plan on sharing a campsite and various rides with Mark in CO. this coming summer. Also looking forward to seeing you and Cheri in Mansfield, OH.

Thanks for posting this and taking me back down "memory lane".
It's been several years since I was last there. Silverton did not have any paved streets when I visited. I believe they do now.
They had just applied calcium chloride on the main street to keep the dust down.

Ouray is one my favourite places I've visited.

Sure would like to & I'll be close. One minor glitch though ... I already committed to attending an FJR gathering in Red Lodge on exactly the same weekend.

Could you move RockStoc a week? ;-)

Keep it coming, so I know what I Missing.

Had friends ride it a few years back and they went early in the year. The frost still on the road only in the shadows in the curves and the 30 pound boulders in the middle of the road too made them pay attention going through the mountains and took the trip in the summer next time they did it.
