Colorado 2007 Trip
08/24/07 - 09/02/07
Fort Worth, Texas - tour Colorado and back
3,671 Miles

This was a great trip and these pages contain 228 photos along with maps of each day's route. Both Mark and I had been to Colorado several times and had ridden most of these roads before. However, we never get tired of riding in Colorado. It's a little different than riding around home. Everything went well on the trip and we had no problems with the bikes.

We did alot of advance planning for this trip as we normally do. We used Microsoft Streets and Trips to do our route planning and those maps are shown here at the beginning of each day's page. We duplicated the routes in Garmin's MapSource software so we could transfer them to our GPS units. Each morning we would have the GPS units calculate and navigate that day's route so we never made a mistake on which road to take. Once again, we didn't even take a paper map with us.

If anyone viewing these pages has any questions or would like to make comments or suggestions, (or have me email the actual map files to you) please email myself or Mark at one of the links on the "Contact" page. We hope you enjoy viewing these pages. Just click on "Day 1" below to get started. Each page has navigation links to guide you through each day's map and pictures.
