    Early bird rides anyone??

    So like a lot of us with jobs and kids, there is never enough time to ride.

    I've gotten in the habit of waking up at 4:45AM, filling up at MoCo and then riding for a few hours just about every day.

    My usual route is W on 70, through Central City Parkway, then back through 6th to Golden and then home to Littleton.

    I've been working on body steering, smoothness, and basic techniques. Just practicing all the stuff I've been studying about.

    I generally ride from about 5AM to around 8-9AM.

    Any one else want to join along? The roads are fantastic early in the morning!

    I'd be up for a ride in the morning, do you run that every morning? I have to cover a 3rd shift route tonight, but if you do it every morning I could meet up on Thurs, or Fri morning? That is if you don't mind a newbie on a 600

    Holy hell, boys... that's EARLY... if MoCo wasn't a 45 minute ride from here, I'd be all over that. *Sigh* I guess I like sleeping in too much.
