Colorado, USA
Saturdays do not get any better if The Ride is headed out the driveway as is evidenced by the smile on the man's face. This is his no plans just get out and ride grin. It is a bit smoky in the high country (and just about everywhere else due to wildfires). In fact, you could not even see the mountains today, so we thought we'd just mosey out and see what's going on at the dealerships. First stop was Thunder Mountain H-D for a couple of patches... then on to Johnson's Corner for coffee and breakfast. Afterwards, we rode on to High Country H-D where I found a shirt on sale and Tim found a new wallet.
Purty Ride!
After visiting the dealerships, we piddle-farted around (that's what Dad calls it) and found ourselves in Longmont within a couple of blocks of Aunt Alice's Restaurant... so, of course we had to stop... it's a rule ya know. We said hello and shook the hand of a WWII Veteran we see in Aunt Alice's fairly often. It wasn't really time for supper and we couldn't decide on pie so we ordered a banana split. No words needed if you look at the pic below.
And oh yeah - you can bet this work of art tasted every bit as good as it looks! Make a note - Aunt Alice's - Longmont, CO - Banana Split! Of course, we haven't had anything at Aunt Alice's that disappointed our taste buds.
The sugar high got us home a couple of hours and a few miles later. Believe it or not we finished the day off at Castillons Mexican Food where we discovered the chile rellenos are pretty darn good.
Today's ride = 153.3 miles
