Fort Collins, CO
We rode today -- again under clear skies... still marveling at the fact that we've been able to ride in the middle of Winter.The Ride took us east across I-25 to the flat lands beyond. It's all small towns, farmlands and ranches on the eastern plains and long country roads. The rolling hills are dotted with farm steads, barns, frozen ponds (we call them tanks), much the same as you see anywhere in rural America.
The water just looks cold - doesn't it? Trust me. It is frigid.
Part of our ride was a bit stinky -- a short time later, we found the source of the stench at the end of a road that dead ended into another road that went to dirt a few yards either way. Feed Lot!
On any given day, I'd rather be in the mountains but a flat land ride has one redeeming aspect- about five to ten miles east of I-25 the view of the Rockies is spectacular.
As the day progressed and we were headed back into town, bikers were on every corner, taking advantage of the last day before the weather turns cold and wet again.
Yep, snow is in our forecast. Our thinking is: If it's gonna be too cold to ride, then it might as well snow.
