Father's Day Shopping Dealership Ride

June 15, 2013
Colorado USA

All shined up and ready to roll

We rolled out just before 10am this morning for some Father's Day riding/shopping. The first couple of stops were in Loveland. Let's call them ammo hunts. No luck. Then we stopped at the Donut Haus for a couple of chocolate-drizzled cinnamon rolls and coffee. YUM!

Chocolate-drizzled cinnamon roll - YUM!

We traveled the back roads to High Country Harley-Davidson which was doing a brisk business as usual, complete with a cookout, vendors and good music. There's always something fun going on at High Country. We shopped for a bit and added a couple of items to the tour pak.

The day was warming up nicely and the clouds were already building so we took the roundabout way to Thunder Mountain Harley-Davidson rolling along country roads east of I-25. On CR19 near Platteville we rolled by and noticed some healthy activity at Miller Farms near Platteville. Miller Farms has been in operation since 1949 and is a working farm/produce stand but also sponsors family oriented activities and festivals throughout the year. Viewble from the road is a huge collection of antique farm equipment and other special attractions including vintage vehicles (some CARS lookalikes), a Ghost Busters wagon and flying saucers.

We love country roads...

Father's Day haul

The weather was turning iffy as we rolled away from Thunder Mountain so we moseyed home about 3pm with the skies spitting. We parked the ride and drove to Chili's (Tim's choice) for supper and kicked back on the patio afterwards to finish off the day (until rain and cotton drove us indoors).

Today's ride was a lazy 108.2 miles.
