It's Monday June 29th. We have about 20 bikes/riders who have RSVP'd that they will be coming on the ride. We should have a good crowd

. If your thinking of coming you should know that just about all the rooms in the area have been taken. So probably it's camping from here on in. Saratoga is about 18 miles north of Riverside and has lots of lodging so they may have some rooms available there. There is another motorcycle group from western Nebraska that is coming through there the same week-end and have made a number of reservations in the area.
The campground says that the camping fee should be about $8.50 per person. What a deal!
This is a good chance to dust off the gear your going to use in Paonia and see if everything works or if you need something.
I'm also going to see if we can have the campground have some wood available to us for a bonfire on Saturday evening.
As for gas there is a gas station in Riverside if you want to fill up before we leave Sunday morning. We will stop in Walden, CO on the way up Saturday if you want to gas up there too.
Stay tuned and check back for further updates as the ride date get closer.
