Reunion Ride to the Rockies - At least 4 squadron members -- Trip Lapham, Ed Flinchum, Rick Yeh & Bill Simpson -- are planning a motorcycle ride to the reunion in Colorado Springs next summer, and we'd like to have more riders join us along the way.
Depending on conditions, the plan is to only ride about 300-350 miles a day and take about 4 days to make the trip.
Depending on the number of bikes making the trip, the hotel management in Colorado Springs may set aside a special area in the parking lot that can be constantly monitored by hotel security for bike parking.
Since the reunion begins on 4 August 2011, the ride will start from Winchester, KY on 1 August and end at the hotel in Colorado Springs on the 4th
Click on the map below to see the tentatively planned route for the trip. Generally, the planned route is to start from Winchester, KY and head west on I-64W, then I-70W to CO-40 and then CO-94 into Colorado Springs, a total of about 1,300 miles

Optional Tour 1
Thursday 4 Aug, 2011 - AIR FORCE ACADEMY & GARDEN OF THE GODS
Enjoy a relaxed, hassle-free tour to the 18,000-acre Air Force Academy. After we pass through the North Gate, you will view Diamond Lil, the B-52 Bomber. Next - a lovely scenic overlook off North Gate Road. You're in for a treat in visiting the exquisite 17-spired, interdenominational chapel, where the cadets march in their inspiring Noon Formation. Other attractions today include Falcon Stadium, the cadet glider port and the new 3.8 million-dollar visitors’ center. Afterwards, you travel to the Garden of the Gods Park. Not surprisingly, the Garden of the Gods is the most photographed site in the United States. Bring lots of film! One of the world’s greatest natural wonders, this gallery of amazing red rock sculptures was created more than 300 million years ago by violent geological forces. Fantastic formations jut skyward at heights of over 300 feet. Several stops will be made to view such spectacular monoliths as Balanced Rock and the Kissing Camels.
Load at 09.15am / Depart at 09.30am.
Returning to hotel at 1.30pm
NO lunch included
COST: $35.00 Per Person
Optional Tour 2
Friday 5 Aug, 2011 - PIKES PEAK COG RAILWAY
If you could take only one tour while in the region, this has to be it! Pikes Peak is America’s Mountain; this isn’t because it’s the highest, but because it rises, solitary and majestic, out of the Great Plains. Discovered by Zebulon Pike in 1806 it rises 14,110 feet above sea level. As you travel up the mountainside aboard one of the last true cog railway trains in America, you will experience three distinct geographical regions marked by striking changes. At the summit you will feel you are on top of the world! Please bring along a jacket or sweater - you will need it at the top!
Load at 09.15am / Depart at 09.30am
Train departs depot at 10.40am
Train returns to depot at 1.30pm
Returning to hotel at 2.00pm
