Due to the expected cold weather conditions on Saturday October 14th, intensified by the Wyoming winds and long distance travel, the Fort Laramie Chapter Ride has been cancelled. We do not want to expose anyone to these less than fair riding conditions. In the meantime, please stay safe and warm and hope to see you at our Chapter meeting on Saturday October 21st.

The NoCo IMRG Fort Laramie Ride is this Saturday, October 14th. We will meet at Ted’s Place (gas station at corner of Highway 287 & 14). Meet time is 9:30 am with KSU @10:00 am.

Fort Laramie was first established as a private fur trading post in 1834. Officially, this first Fort Laramie was named “Fort William” in honor of its founder William Sublette. Fort William was replaced in 1841 by the second Fort Laramie, which was named “Fort John” and also served as a private trading post. Fort John was purchased by the military in 1849 and officially was renamed “Fort Laramie.” Fort Laramie continued in operation until 1890 when it was abandoned. Fort Laramie evolved into the largest and best known military post on the Northern Plains, and witnessed the entire sweeping saga of America’s western expansion and Indian resistance to encroachment on their territories.

Saddle up, because this one’s a real adventure — 274 miles and 7 hours of saddle time through some stunning mountain scenery! This is a Level 5 ride, so come prepared with a full tank of gas and ready to roll.The route is dialed in with planned gas stops along the way.
Our route kicks off at Ted’s Place, winding west through scenic Poudre Canyon and over the summit of Cameron Pass into Walden. From there, we’ll go south to Granby for a well-deserved lunch stop. Next, we’ll head south past Winter Park and across the twists and turns of Berthoud Pass. Bypassing I-70 in favor of side roads, we’ll go east through Idaho Springs, then point our handlebars north toward Black Hawk. Continuing north to Ward, we’ll turn eastward riding Lefthand Canyon, coming out into Altona. We’ll finish up the final leg on CO-66, wrapping up a fantastic ride at the Longmont Walmart.

NoCo IMRG Southern Exposure Ride to the Springs
2026-08-08 08:30 | Longmont Park-n-ride, I25 & Hwy 119, Longmont, CO, United States
Meet: Park & Ride at Hwy 119 & I-25 in Longmont (across from American Family Furniture)
Meet-up time: 8:30 AM
KSU: 9:00 AM

We’ll take the back way south rather than I-25, riding the Parkway over to E-470 and down toward Parker. We’ll make a stop in Parker for anyone needing fuel, a snack, or a chance to stretch and regroup.

From there, we’ll gear up and continue on Hwy 83 for a slower, more relaxing ride into the Springs.

Once we arrive, we’ll stop at Pikes Peak Indian Motorcycle to visit, relax, and check out everything the dealership has to offer.

After our dealership visit, we’ll head to Rudy’s BBQ for lunch. It’s a popular local spot and should be a good option for getting the group seated and fed in a timely manner.

After lunch, we’ll head back north toward home. Our final return route will be decided while we’re in the Springs, depending on I-25 traffic and the best route available.

Paul and Dawn Carroll will be your road officers for this ride.
⚠️ Ride Level 4: This ride includes faster-paced traffic and congestion, so be prepared for those conditions.

It should be a fun day and a great opportunity to do something a little different from our normal rides. Come out, enjoy the roads, spend some time with the group, and make a day of it!
