The canyons in Ft. Collins

[tl1000riders]

I believe I was in Stove Prairie. Anyone planning a ride through there in the next few weeks? It was a kick in the pants for me. Even being 2up I thought it was a great ride! If anyone is going let me know. I know a few others who want to ride as well. Thanks.:)

[themajekalbum]

well I'm up for it just abotu anythime...just hit me up with a date...any cept the 11th is good for me

[daemon]

stove prarie is fun,but i know a few others as well that will get your blood pumping.......if there are no speed limit loving cagers around.

[tl1000riders]

That's cool. You will have to let me know. Are they closer than Stove Prairie?

[daemon]

all within about 20 miles of stove

[tl1000riders]

Let's get this planned and see if we can do it before the season is over.:hump:

[daemon]

EH!!!! why look.
there it is

[tl1000riders]

Works for me. Motohaus for our meeting place? I'm riding in from Denver.

[onelocked]

I could make this ride next sunday, I work on sat. let me know.

[tl1000riders]

Sunday works for me. Onelocked we can meet at phillips and head out together.:shocked:

[elbromisto]

I'm up there most weekends. If I'm short on time I'll do a quick Rist/Stove Prarie loop, other times I'll link up with one of the other big canyons. I just recently learned about Chasteen's Grove which is a fun little diversion. I always like to learn other routes/loops that are close to town.

[daemon]

next sunday it can be.
and yes we can make the meeting spot at the moto haus.

someone designate a time and i will set it up with a few others

[fireboltwillie]

oh, i rode that a few weeks ago for the first time. awesome ride! would love to hit it again.

[sky_blue]

Count me in for a few hours local. Be nice to escape from a weekend of backyard landscaping for a few hours.

[Yellow Bullet]

Hmmm, 8 at the house?

[tl1000riders]

8 is way to early for me. I'm driving up from Denver. I would prefer 10 at Haus. If that doesn't work with you guys it's cool. I will hit stove prairie and poudre canyon with Onelocked. He's down here too.

[daemon]

10 am would work for me.

and yes 8 am is a bit early

[Yellow Bullet]

Ah common... You gotta get up early to catch an empty road... Right?

You said put a time on it... Wasn't the last ride you set up at like 8, Daemon?

[themajekalbum]

I'm down for 10 on sun

[tl1000riders]

Cool. See you at Haus @ 10.:)

[daemon]

yeah,but that was much warmer weather.
time stands at 10 am.

we can all get a cup of coffee and BS for a bit.

sorry if that is too late for anyone.

we will be somewhat local,but far stretching.
i have an idea for a good run.
PM me if you wanna know the details.
if there are any digressions please let me know.
i will be posting this up on the Moto Haus forum and my private ride e-mail list.
BTW. i have an E-Mail group that has been growing,if you would like to be added for future rides please PM me and i will give you the addy

[daemon]

just FYI.
there is a swap meet going on at the Haus on sunday.
we can check out the vendors as well before we take off

[tl1000riders]

Sounds good. See ya there.

[onelocked]

tl1000riders I'll meet ya at our usual place. What time ?

[tl1000riders]

I think @ 9. That should give us enough time to get there. The weather should be fairly warm at that time.
Are there any other riders down here heading that way?

[Sean]

Put me down as a 50/50. I've never ridden that area an would love to check it out. Mayo-PM sent

I've never heard of this one.... probably rode it though... where is it? I sometimes just head out and find a road that leads back somewhere where I know I am. Only have a 100 mile range though...

[onelocked]

Shiny we dont care about your sexual preferences, but if you want to join mike a I for the ride up to the meeting point let me know and we'll plan a place to meet up with ya.

[Yellow Bullet]

I'll be going

:banghead: doh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I understand why you would think that. It's hard work being this good looking. But sorry pal, 100% ladies, 100% of the time! I'll let you know about meeting up.

[elbromisto]

Tard--Chasteen's is a short road that goes between Masonville and the Big Thompson canyon. It's tight and twisty, but tends to have a lot of sand. My guess is that tardboys like yourself would have more fun on it than anyone.

[tarded400]

Is that going east from the stove prarie school sign? I always called that rist... doesn't look like east... I didn't remember that many cattle guards, but its been a long time since I've been up there.

[tarded400]

Thats rist alright! My fav. is at 1:20... Guess I love that road so much I never keep going on to 14... Also you can turn left from the stove prarie school sign and do a tiny bit of dirt! :D

i like it alot as well!!!

not quite my fave though.
i prefer devils gulch!!!

[Sean]

Sorry guys, I'm out.
Besides, I'm getting real tired of this onelocked guy. If I have to hold his hand through another canyon ride, I think I'm gonna have to shoot myself. Sorry, have fun anyways!

[tarded400]

Devil's Gulch is too short... need to run it 3 or 4 times. :D Not a problem, cuz I'd much rather deal with that than all the traffic on 34... whats the one coming out of Nederland? I love that road, but they need to close it down for motorcyclists to play on.

[onelocked]

Its not my hand I am worring about you trying to hold... Sorry you cannot make it, maybe next time if the ride is not to scarry for you.

[daemon]

Devil's Gulch is too short... need to run it 3 or 4 times. :D
i agree there,but there is a shorter one that tempts you to run it all day.
most likely hit it sunday if the weather holds out.
i'm talking about pinewood reservoir.

[KoryBricker]

Hey, I did that Pinewood Reservoir run just yesterday. It agree it is really good. I tried it earlier this year (my second week having the bike as well as ever even riding) and coming back down scared the crap out of me even going slightly under the speed limit :) . Yesterday though was no problem and actually pretty damn fun. I was pretty psyched that I had gotten that much more comfortable with my riding (the tips from Pilot's seminar on Sunday really helped)

Hopefully the weather holds up for you guys.

[Yellow Bullet]

I thought we were gonna do the wrist canyon run?

[tarded400]

Daemon- That road looks awesome! Never been up there... Something for this weekend.

[daemon]

I thought we were gonna do the wrist canyon run?
pinewood is not that far from stove.


Daemon- That road looks awesome! Never been up there... Something for this weekend.
so yes we will run it if at all possible

[daemon]

good deal kory!!!
it's good to know you are getting more comfortable.
i'll have to say that you were very stiff on the newbie ride.
looking forward to seeing your progress soon

[fireboltwillie]

[Yellow Bullet]

Rubbish, im going no matter what.

[daemon]

if you are uncertain of the weather and you have a great distance to go,then decide for yourself.

i on the other hand always carry my rain gear.

[Yellow Bullet]

So is there like a swamp meet tomorrow at the haus?

[daemon]

So is there like a swamp meet tomorrow at the haus?

[Yellow Bullet]

Hmmm, maybe i could find a good deal on some boots.

[daemon]

swap-your sister for your friends sister
swamp-where the wedding will take place:hump:

[tl1000riders]

I'm not going to make the ride. I don't think the wet roads I want to play on. I will catch you guys at a later date. Be safe and have a great time.:)

[Yellow Bullet]

Ah common, i dont think that it will be bad tomorrow...

[daemon]

i'll still be there

[Yellow Bullet]

i'll still be there

[daemon]

[daemon]
