Schedule just changed at work, and I have Mondays off now. Since I doubt there's a lot of traffic up in the mountains on Mondays, I think I'll go ride around a bit.

Anyone else off, unemployed or willing to call in disinterested?

Meeting at the Morrison Conoco at 10ish.

Route is flexible, but I am thinking up to Evergreen, then 103 to Mount Evans, up there and back down, then out to Idaho Springs and then on to Estes. Devil's Gulch road to Draco, then 34 to Loveland and 25 home. Call it 230 miles.

:: laugh :: That's okay- I am an idiot too- That is my idea of a short ride!

One day best on the Buell is 450 miles (College Station Tx to Beaumont Tx and back), one day best ever was 960 miles on a Kawasaki 440 LTD.

I'm just a frustrated (and poor) Goldwing pilot at heart!
