Limecreek Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 So far the Texas contingent is showing up 5 strong, could be 6 strong if I can get SWMcKinley to join up. It's been 5 years for me since my last visit and I am dearly looking forward to introducing 2 under 40YO new comers to the Torrey experience. Who else is in for 2020 Fall Torrey? I really hope to see some of the old group that made a Torrey trip so special. My first Torrey 1 Link to comment

Calvin (no socks) Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I usually get the itch in the Spring....and just show up from Florida out for a spin. Fall is soooo far away... or is it? Link to comment

Indy Dave Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Any of you Torrey riders know anything about 1670 South out of Torrey? Link to comment
mnTwin Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 (edited) Also known as Notom Rd. It's paved on the north end, then turns to dirt. I wouldn't ride it on my RT, but I've ridden it on my 650GS. See this link for the NPS description (Look for Notom-Bullfrog): https://www.nps.gov/care/planyourvisit/roads.htm Oh, and there are no services out there.

Indy Dave Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Thanks very much. Also appreciate the bike input my buddy GSJoe is out in Torrey now, on his new to him 2017 GSw - having replaced his well used GS1150. Link to comment
Bill_Walker Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 @Indy Dave 1668 on your map is also known as Burr Trail. It's paved from Boulder for several miles and then turns to dirt (last I was there). There's a cool slot canyon perpendicular to the paved road at one point. Link to comment

Torrey happens on the weekend before the Memorial Day weekend, and on the last full weekend of September. There are no reserved rooms, no registration. Show up and find somebody to ride with. Out of habit (and tradition) the Chuckwagon is the hotel of choice. Most people leave on Sunday. Some people arrive early in the week. Link to comment

But like Dennis said, it's very loose and not organized like a rally so you can come and go when you please. Some have done a week. Some have done a day. And one guy used to do an Iron Butt Burn Burner Gold or close to it and would stick around for 15 minutes to 1 hr. Once he stayed for a meal. Whatever floats your boat works. But once you go, you'll get hooked. Link to comment
Limecreek Posted August 28, 2020 Author Share Posted August 28, 2020 Out the door in less than 4 weeks for Torrey trip number 2 in a year. The sad bit, is this will be like the 5th time I've been on my bike all year. Link to comment
