    I rode down to Golden at 9 this morning for a brunch date and then went up 6, around old Hwy 40 and over to Evergreen, and back down Bear Creek Cyn. Not cold at all. Then I even did some bike cleaning, chain maintenance and went back out to bed in my new brake pads. Just managed to get hit by a random shower just now, a little damp, there goes my clean bike. Full day.. even caught the last 10 laps of MotoGP at Jerez.

    Yeah we went round the lakes to Horsetooth. First time I've been up there. It was awesome (!) and weather was cooperating all day. Only caught a few sprinkles here and there.

    Yep, riding around the lakes that skirt along the foothills up in our direction when the weather is iffy is a good second choice to the canyons, especially when you're itching to ride. Been there, done that.

    I'm looking forward to the sunshine the rest of this week. Gonna be hard to contain the itches...

    I know im late on this one and all but you could check out of bounds in loveland (Off 287 and 29th in the king soopers parking lot close to mcdonalds), if no big games or anything are going on they are usually really cool at turning the channel to speed..

    I think also BWW (Buffalo Wild Wings) will put on the speed channel if no other big games are going on that are like baseball and stuff.. y ou can even call and check it out before hand..

    I dont know longmont so i couldn't tell you anything for that area.

    ps whoevers yellow suzuki that is looks pretty good

    The Zuk is Kevin's. There were 3 twins there.... it sounded so tasty riding down the street. We did manage to get BWW to change over a big screen for us.

    Thanks! It might help to not have a mufler

    It was a very nice day, a little warm for double flannel lined carhartts. I had never been around the lakes, and I must say that is was a most gorgeous ride!
