If one trip is good, four must be better.

So, in 2026, I’m hitting the road four times. Not long trips. Most are four days. One is five.  

We’ll be seeing a lot of Colorado, because it has the best riding on earth. One trip takes us to Utah, to explore the Number 3 ride on my Top Ten list. Along the way, I’ll cruise to the top of two Fourteeners, completing the Colorado Pass-a-Palooza™ that I began in 2025.

In all, 3,400 miles over 17 days on the road. Twenty-seven passes above 10,000 feet.
