I live in Kremmling and would like to put my 2cents in on the roads for the tour. When I went last year the ride was fun but the best Vette roads were near us but not driven. Living here for 32 years and being a MC enthusiast I feel I have a great knowledge of Colorado's Mtn. Roads. Just thought I'd ad in.

I'd definitely be in for a nice cruise. I just picked up a c5z from a member on this forum in Iowa. I'm looking for as many car related events I can find.

I think you front range guys should come down and do a two day tour of the San Juan Skyway (Durango, Silverton, Ouray, Ridgeway, Telluride, Dolores, Durango). Amazing scenery...awesome roads



Oh and at least 9 breweries I can think of along the way

Those are some fun/scenic roads.

On a side note, that lil' Fiat looks too cool between the Mustang and the Z

That's our favorite part of the state, we head down that way pretty often for drives. We're spending this weekend in Ouray and heading towards Durango Sunday. Unfortunately we'll be in the F250 instead of the Vette or Shelby because of the weather forecast. We should definitely plan a drive down that way.

Here's from a drive last fall when my older brother and his wife came up from Dallas. I offered him either car, he chose the C6.

Looks like a blast Steve! I'm jealous about your Ouray trip! Ouray is my wife and I's favorite little mountain gem. We try to take one weekend trip there every year. We are going end of Aug this year for her birthday. The scenery, breweries, hikes, falls, etc. are just amazing! If you guys get serious about a San Juan cruise let me know- we are right on the route and will join in for sure!
