My SO and a friend did Ride the Rockies also. I couldn't because I'm still rehabbing my knee. I drove with them to Cortez, spent Sat. nite with them, then came home. On Friday, I drove to Canon City and picked them up.

I did notice a lot of non riders, we had a couple camped near us that was sagging their son. I asked what they were going to do all week and they didn't have a clue! I felt I was much better off at home, rather than hanging around, clogging the roads and wasting gasoline.

It wasn't clear, does RTR charge for non riders? No one questioned me being there and I could have easily spent the week. Also, non riders cause congestion at the camp sites, especially in the bathrooms, take up more tent space and motel rooms.

On Sun morning, instead of using the few sinks available I drove into Durango and stopped at a gas station to wash my face and brush my teeth. I had to stop anyway, the group serving breakfast ran out of coffee and there was a long line at the coffee stand outside.

Did anyone have any dealings with SportsGarage? That's the shop I ordered my Serotta from.
