But I understand that this is not such a good idea maybe becaus of wind and also because of traffic and road into LV. I already once had the wind against me in Arizona - so I know what it is like and remember now!
We also really want to do a line-trip not a round-trip and I like the scenery in the region a lot. Denver to LV would lead through the most scenerey and divers region in my opinion - starting in the mountains through canyons and finally the desert ...
So I will think about with my wife and come back here with more questions. Thanks again - and I hope I will meet some of you on the trip in 2012!

I understand your ideas for direction and end point. I'd suggest you look at doing a modified route that combines Adventure Cycle's
Great Parks section 6 with a modification starting from Denver,
Great Parks section 7 and the
Western Express section 3. I'd suggest doing a couple of days layover in Durango and renting a car to see some extra sites and/or
ride the Durango/Silverton Railroad. Durango is somewhat centrally located so that you could see some of the places that would be off-route.
I can help with getting through Denver and over to connect with the Great Parks route.
