Early is good. Most of the trailer wusses don't roll out until 10 am.

If you take 85 up through Wyoming watch for construction. It seems that they're always working on that road around rally time.

We're gonna have to try and plan the day around getting by Sturgis far enough to find a room for the night.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; Or we may have to sleep on the asphalt at WalMart.
&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;
We will be coming from Bear tooth pass and Big Horn pass on the way back to VA eventually

Enjoy the ride, that is some of the best riding I've done.&nbsp\\; That part of Our Country is Beautiful, you'll love the rodes and highways, very clean, but be careful, alot of riders this time of year just go out to say they've been there and can't ride for S**T.

aclass, I don't think 2 weeks is enough the see Colorado "AND" points north. That is if you are riding your bike the whole way. Wife and I did Colorado and some of Utah in two weeks but we trailered from Va. to Colorado. We will be leaving Va. around Aug.3/4 to do 3 weeks in Mt. Wy. Ut. and retouch a little bit of Colorado. And i have my doubts about 3 weeks being enough. No matter what though have a safe and good trip.

Have a good trip and be safe.
