Dune Dad Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 (edited) Last year I went to Colorado with some friends to go and do a 1000 mile off road ride with a couple of Enduro clubs. It was the best ride I have ever done in my life!!! There are off road clubs from all over the west coast to the mid west that meet up once a year to do this ride. There is a private invitational ride/race that has been going on for the last 23 years. Its called the Colorado 1000. It started with a couple of L.A. County Firemen and Cops that were into riding off road in Colorado. Over the years it has grown from a couple of riding buddies once a year to over 120 riders every year now that get together and ride from Dolores Co through the rockys to Aspen than back! We stay in a different town just about every night. Along the ride we stay in these little towns like Lake City, Crested Butte, Ouray and so on. The scenrey going over some of these passes on the rockys is unreal! There are passes we hit that are better than 14000 feet above sea level. Bear pass that goes down into Telluride Colorado is just amazing! When you come over this ridge you are about 2000 feet above town. The views are just awsome! There is a old power house that has a water wheel that hangs off of a cliff about 1500 feet above this trail. The waterfall coming off of the house is amazing! Well its that time again... My bike is loaded in the truck and my bags are packed! I am leaving the house in Big Bear Lake, Ca and driving straight to Colorado :porn: !! Its going to be a lot of and and but most of all :porn: I will post this years pictures when I get back next weekend. If there are any Enduro riders on the Dumont Dune Riders site that would like to do this ride than P.M. me and Ill give the information to set up next years ride! There is another club that puts on a ride like this one but its called the Colorado 500. Its costs 3 times more than the 1000 ride and the rules are to much to deal with! Sorry for the but I really live for these kind of rides! Its a great way to get ready for the up coming Dumont season!
