Fort Collins, CO
Oh yeah, we rode again today. Did you think we wouldn't? In fact, we could hardly wait to get out there. The weather was darn near perfect, considering it is January.
Today's ride took us east across I-25 where we roamed up and down flat land country roads. The interstate basically runs between the eastern plains and the front range the whole length of Colorado. The eastern plains are home to farms and ranches, feed lots and a few too many posh bedroom communities that have sprung up over the last ten years or so. Sprung is a literal term, meaning they build those many-mansions so fast that the walls are still quivering as the new owners move in.
We rode past frozen lakes covered with geese, sheep lots, and traveled roads that have very little to offer in winter except a stunning view of the Rocky Mountains covered in snow. The ride took us through a couple of tiny towns like Severance, Bruce's Saloon being its claim to fame serving up Rocky Mountain Oysters. Across the street from the saloon is a Town of Severance sign that says: Where the Geese Fly and the Bulls Cry. On the weekends, Bruce's is crowded with motorcycles. Bruce's was closed today but some day we'll stop there and I'll at least get a better shot of the murals.
Well, we maybe have one more day of nice weather before Ol' Man Winter visits again.
