I would imagine by the first week of April everything will be clear - as it is mostly now. They keep the highways, especially the interstates in pretty good shape - it's the upper elevation roads that aren't clear. I wish they would plow those earlier than June.

I hope your right about everything being open for April.

From what friends have told me that have ridden Rt50 on bikes, it's alot nicer road to ride than Rt70.....

Hi I just drove to canon city from grand junction via rt 50 and had no problem. They got a little bit of snow while we were in canon city but it was clear in the afternoon on Monarch Pass. Just keep an eye on the weather, but i wouldnt worry about it too much.

Thanks Grandjunktion, Good to hear. What kind of time did it take you to run from Cannon City to Grand Junktion ?

Really looking forward to running Rt50, A friend who ran it on his bike last year said it was very scenic.........

Well, all we can do is hope for the best. I know one thing, I certainly don't want to put a set of chains on 37" tires.

Are you running out Rt70 or Rt80 ?
