Hey All,
I would love to ride towards Estes or up any mountain this afternoon if anyone is interested. Thus far I have only ridden with my buddy who is scared just going straight and would love to ride with someone who can take some turns and maybe I could learn a thing or two.

I am near Greeley but willing to meet anywhere short of Denver.

How was it??? Sorry I didn't get a chance to meet up with you guys- I had to start early enough to make it back to the Dirty South before dark.

Rode to Nederland from Boulder, then tried to make it to CO-7, but encountered blowing snow, lightning, and patches of black ice between Nederland and Ward. As I was alone, I decided it would be wisest to head back east ASAP... which meant Lefthand Canyon, booooo.

It was cool riding through 4 seasons in 2 hours, though!

Should have updated the thread but after getting similar reports we canceled the ride. I then tried to make it to IMI but once I got on the Interstate the 70mph winds pushed me right back home.
Sadly, I missed out waiting for afternoon temperatures.
