Fort Collins, CO
Put Your Big Girl Panties On
and Biker UP!
I just love that saying... it simply screams FUN, doesn't it? I've got to find a vest patch that says it one of these days.
Biker UP! That's exactly what I am doing... my big girl panties are ready to go! Ha! Coming right up is our first over-nighter on the bike. The Ride is taking us to the Springs, Colorado Springs, Colorado that is, for a Colorado weekend, otherwise known as a four day weekend. There's plenty to do in and around the Springs both on and off the bike. Just being in close proximity to Pikes Peak and all that history and hanging out on the streets of Old Colorado City is fun. No trip to the Springs goes without a stop for some good food at The Mason Jar. Then, there's Garden of the Gods and a couple of dozen tourist traps and several rides that are a must do. The big decision is which ride to do first and how many more can we squeeze in... life is good.
The Springs is about 130 miles due south of Fort Collins straight down I-25. We're not taking the interstate though -- been there -- done that -- too hectic and boring, so we'll add a few miles taking the toll road (E470) for a stretch, then Hwy 83 south, traveling the eastern, somewhat scenic route around Big-D.
The folks in Texas have plans, too. Mom will go to visit with family in Henrietta, Texas for the Pioneer Reunion. Dad will likely ride in a Motorcycle Run for the Troops sponsored by AT&T. He'll ride from Wichita Falls to Nolanville (near Waco) About 177 miles, one way.
Stay tuned... Ill be posting pics and more next week.
