I did a 4 day weekend last week out to the southwest corner of Colorado. This is a ride that I do each year with members of another forum. We get everything from dual sports to cruisers to superbikes, and riders from as far as Indiana & SoCal.

On Friday several of us get out of Denver (2 locals, one from Indiana, and one from Iowa) and away from the road construction on 285. A spirited run up Poncha Pass brings us into Saguache for lunch.

On the other side an amazing view..
