"Colorado Pass Bagging" is just a great excuse to take off and ride Colorado for a day or a week. I've only been here for a short time and 2007 was my first full year in the state. So, what better way to just get out and see it. All I had for a bike this year was my big BMW GS, so I've had to skip some of the more challenging passes. Over the winter, I hope to get a smaller bike that I can take use to get to the top of the tougher passes.
For a taste, ride along with me over #30 Red Mountain Pass - VIDEO.
My working Garmin MapSource GDB file. Other Support Files. Thanks to ADVrider BishopRL for the excellent work documenting the passes on ADVrider and his Conny site.
