    Last minute ride!

    Hey CSC,

    I'm planning on leaving the Springs at 11 to hit Deckers and foxton. If your interested, post up the more the merrier. Pace will be however the roads dictate probably slow to moderate. Great weather!

    We must have just missed you on both roads.. We had quite a bit of traffic on Deckers of those cutting trees along with LEO presence. I'm sure it will continue through the weekend.

    Yeah there was a whole lot of traffic but most of the roads were in great shape. Except the part right after decker before hitting horsepower hill. Aside from that it was great. On a totally unrelated subject this trip proved to be the last te my pirellis after a short 2.5k miles.

    Yeah that part can be sketchy on the best of days. Sad because that's a fun stretch of road.

    Wish I knew you were riding today. Rode the same route and also from the springs.

    Deckers was decent, extra sand and gross amounts of "tree murder"

    Deer Creek had a lot of sand and magnesium chloride. Still a fun ride at a easy pace.

    I saw you and driver Dave at MOCO. I assumed you were going on a private ride. Neither came over to say hi at all you guys gassed up and parked in a different section.

    I'm always down for a ride, however there never seems to be a lot of interested people from the "south" willing to ride. I see a lot of meet ups at MOCO but that is almost 2 hr before the "ride" beggings.

    Re: Last minute ride!

    Yeah it must be hard from the springs but there are still great roads to cripple creek and up woodland park to deckers.

    I posted ride for Friday and only 1 person showed up. We did deer creek, turkey creek, parmalee gulch, and bear creek before lunch. Driver Dave and sully showed up to MOCO but didn't say anything just gassed up and then parked separately from me so I assumed it was a private ride. But they are too fast for me anyways so I doubt they'd want me on their ride.

    Its probably good I didn't go on their ride since my bike stopped working twice on the ride and then started again. I'm currently working on a charging system diagnosis to see what the issue is. Luckily I made it home but after stalling out mid corner on parmalee and then again on bear creek that was scary enough

    I thought you were going on the ride I posted last month mdub. You even suggested the meeting time but went on a different ride somewhere else? Hwy 85?

    Sorry UHATEIT, I was more concerned with the nail in my rear tire to come over and socialize.

    Re: Last minute ride!

    Looks like we both had bike issues that day. I couldn't have kept up with you both anyways I'm still too slow. We will see you out on the road again sometime hopefully with all bikes running fine!
