Looking for some advice on what route to take from Sacramento area to western Colorado on my KLR in late June. I'm meeting friends from Minnesota for our annual ride. They have road bikes, so on the way there I want to mix it up with some 2-lane paved and a little gravel/dirt thrown in now and then to keep my interest up. Thinking about taking 4 days to get there. Thanks for your input. Paul

Lay down a groove of US 50, and riff on that.

I agree - Hwy 50. It's been over 20 yrs since I drove from Reno to Grand Junction on Hwy 50. The trip was very memorable. Great two lane black top. Lots of cool little towns. If you stay on 50 thru Delta, UT to Salina, UT, then on Hwy 50/70 to just past Green River UT. Take 191 south to Moab, you can stop and say Hi to Fred. Then on thru Moab southeast on 191, turns into 46 east, to 90 east to 141 north, up to Gateway, CO. There's a restaurant/inn in Gateway that's very nice - you won't miss it, it's the only place in town. Excellent Buffalo prime rib and Chile Verde. If you keep going northeast on 141 you will run back into Hwy 50 at Whitewater, CO. Grand Jct, CO and Hwy 70 is just a few miles north. Head south to Delta, CO and Montrose. The ride up 141 from 90 to Whitewater is something you won't forget. Chuck C San Diego, CA

US 50, of course. Great road, little traffic, innumerable dirt road side trips. Between Fallon and Ely the only gas stations I recall are in Austin and Eureka, so don't pass any up. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

--- One of the nice things about relatively free markets is that there is generally room for both, though the pendulum does swing back and forth. Interesting business news today about Dell manufacturer-direct to consumer sales model versus Circuit City/Best Buy specialty retailer model, versus Wal-Mart/Sam's Club mega-discount model versus Apple's multi-channel model. All selling computers successfully. And still there are local shops selling computer services, not to mention Ebayers selling both new and used computers. We just inked a free trade agreement with South Korea that looks like it will remove virtually all tarrifs between the two countries; will likely make Hyundais even less expensive in the U.S. Better get used to it, 'cause it's the inevitable outcome of free markets, and with China and India just getting started, we ain't seen nothing yet in my opinion.
