And not by some hot broad either... were any of you on C470 by Chatfield yesterday around 6pm?! Cripes! The wind moved me over an entire lane... and water from the reservoir was blown onto the road and misted up my shield.

Scared the crap out of me! :shocked: Ok, that's it - I just wanted to share my scary story, and point out how big of a pantywaist I am.

Leaving work in DTC yesterday I was being pushed on Belleview. It was not too bad but you had to focus constantly to prevent becoming a hood ornament.

Just seek refuge @ The Toad.

Same for me. Thank god I chose to take a tour after work in town, instead of on C-470.

Wind....:321:

I was on 470 around that time.

Between the snow, rain, wind, having kids, and work: it sometimes feels like the stars have to align perfectly to get a good ride in.

It was pretty windy up on horsepower hill yesterday afternoon, but damn was it worth it :)

Be careful down there - there's rumors of a Saskwatch roaming around the woods - and occasionally wandering onto the roads.

you are soooo right. I had two days off and between my dad needing help with a project, and other little things, I got about half hour on the bike.

and I had planned a trip to Pikes Peaks that day too....
