cops are always all over 24... i remember seeing an unmarked grand prix black, all the lights where in the tail lights and fog lights.. had no clue that it was a cop... but yea 24 gets boring so you tend to drive a little fast..

This is what I was going to say. There are cops on Hwy 24 all the time. Beware! I drive it everyday.

That's because 24 is the only road that leads from the Springs to WPK, unless you count Rampart. And 67 is notorious for wrecks, especially motorcycles. I love the ride from WPK to 285 through Deckers, but a lot of guys misjudge the road, and more frequently, their abilities. On the way back from the noob ride sunday, a Harley rider went down on a pretty easy curve. The road curved to his left and it looked like he just rode the bike off the right side of the road.
I always see them thick from Manitou Springs to CS. Motorcycle cops hiding in shadows and things like that.

Yup, early season sucks. The guys who garaged their bikes for the last 6+ months, and who typically consider anything over 50 miles to be a "long ride" or see their bikes like a hillbilly views a bathtub (something to be used once a month), start coming out of the woodwork. The Harley guy I saw downed sunday looked like he forgot that his bike is actually capable of leaning more than 5 degrees, just like most of the Harley riders I've run across.
They must have heard me out there!

I noticed a ton of Sheriffs out around Peterson, Constitution and Marksheffel in all directions. Don't know what the deal was but the sure had a heavy presence in that area this afternoon.

Prepping for the holiday weekend.
Article in the Gazette said ALL were going to be out enforcing laws, seatbelt usage, and DUI busting.
Be safe, be smart.

and remember specially at night, it is no longer law that an officer sitting at a dead stop keep his parking lights on.. they can sit in the dead of the night with no warning and nail you.
Also in the state of colorado you no longer have the option of looking at the speed radar to verify your speed..
just a few helpful hints

Actually, KidIcarus is correct. Neither was a law.

+1 on the comment about cops being on 24 all the time. That's a good road to hang close to the speed limit on.
I took Monday afternoon off and rode from CS -> WP -> Deckers -> 285 -> Deer Creek -> Castle Rock -> I25 -> CS. The only cops were on 24 and on I-25 between Castle Rock and the Springs.
