Getting closer so we are setting up where to stay.
As a central location for a couple days which one?
Ouray, Telluride, or Silverton?
Ma Ma is leaning towards Telluride. She likes the gondola idea to get around while not riding.

I have stayed in Cortez… Grand Junction… Durango… Steamboat Springs… Idaho Springs… all of them where just one night stop overs in Mom & Pop motels… eaten in the closest restaurant and gone first thing in the morning…

I drew an imaginary X of the Rocky Mountain parts of Colorado… And right in the centre is Gunnison… And when I look at the map, I think it would be a very good central place to stay if you wanted to reach out and do day trips…
… i’ve been to Colorado twice… The first time it was for four days… The second time it was for three days… I barely scratched the surface… Although I did do some nice roads and mountain passes…

We have one night at Estes Park and plan on 1-2 in Moab.
Plan on at least 3 maybe 4 in the San Juan Mtn area hence trying to pick the best town of the 4 mentioned above.

I went through both Montrose and Gunnison
neither of them stuck out as a place I would go back to visit
I thought Idaho Springs was a **** hole
Steamboats pretty far north as a centerpoint
And Durango is pretty far south for the same reason
Grand Junction was a nice place to drive-through and get a motel
But again nothing stuck in my mind as a place I want to go back to for any length of time
I still think Gunnison as a centerpoint if you can find accommodations that fit Its either that or youre gonna be staying in an expensive ski place like Aspen or Vale

Be aware of your altitude. Might want pickup some oxygen bottles at Wally World. Place like Telluride, Breckenridge and highway 550 are pretty high.
If you feel a little queasy might want to take a few hits off the oxygen bottles.
Don't know the year of you bike but you make have the ability to display altitude on your radio
