Fall is officially here in Southern Colorado.
Woke up w/ no schedule, blue skies, 1/2 tank of gas &
a 1970 Porsche 911E ready to be driven.
The route was Durango, Co to Ouray, Co (pronounced yur-ay)
About 80 miles of high speed straights, tight corners, 1000 ft
cliff drop-offs, golden aspens, beautiful mountain views.
The Perfect Porsche road !
Map of route North
Map does NOT detail the corners & elevation gain.
Route starts at 6500 ft elev, up over Coal Bank Pass 10,640 elev,
Molas Pass elev 10,899 ft & Red Mountain Pass elev 11,018 ft.
This is one of the most avalanche prone Hwy's in the country.
Fortunately today I wont be dealing with that !
2.2 intervals to get warmed up !

Looking down onto Ouray,CO
Beaumont Hotel, Ouray CO
A great old hotel that was recently restored.
