OC to Denver 5-27, anyone to ride with?

Flying out to pick up a EG Classic in So Cal. After a few day trips to feel confident and make the minor adjustments needed I will be heading back to CO. Plan on leaving on Tuesday the 27th by myself and would like to find anyone heading in the same direction. Bike has 11k miles and was just at an HD shop for the 10k mile service, fresh tires so I'm not worried about reliability but would sure like to have someone or a group to join. Many solo rides over the decades so riding alone is no biggie.

Any riders heading that way?

Left on the holiday. Traffic was heavy in the opposite direction when I hit Vegas. Hotter than heck until Ceader City. In beaver now and should be in Moab by nightfall.

I ride from San Clemente to SW Colorado (and back) all the time. Never leave SoCal on a Friday (Vegas traffic) or return on a Sunday (obvious reasons). Many times the weather in the Vegas/Mesquite area will be 100+ and then you drop 50 or so degrees by the time you depart Cedar City. Winds can be tricky in some areas (between Cedar City & Beaver, small portion of AZ you pass through on I-15, etc.). Good luck! SJ Ron
