Colorado / Re: Weather in May

I rode over Monarch Pass last May east to west.  A little snow and some really vicious wind -- blowing the wrong direction.  In May you can bet on wind, but it does generally blow west to east.  Most dangerous thing is a big cross wind and a narrow shoulder.  Just something to be aware of, though not much you can do to prepare for in advance.  You could have beautiful sunny weather or a blizzard.

Hi, I'm Jeff, and I live in Boulder.  I got into touring last year, and I'm hooked.  There's just something amazing about traveling by bicycle.  I've done a couple of multi-week, multi-state solo tours, but I'd also like to do some shorter duration touring around CO this year, and I'm sure having other people to ride and camp with would enhance the experience.  Despite living here for 12+ years, there's still much of this beautiful state that I haven't yet explored.
