Colorado, USA
Housework done - sort of. The rest of the yard work will keep - sort of. At 2 pm it was 76 degrees! My Harley boots practically walked out of the closet on their own. Tim drove in from Saturday shift work and we rolled out again shortly after. It was the first time this year we rode without even thinking about the need for a jacket. Skies were partly cloudy and there was a stout, westerly wind but, it was warm. We rode the lakes (Horsetooth, No Name and Carter), over to Lyons to near the northern edge of Denver then rambled the country lanes back, making a wide arc south and around Fort Collins. Once back in the city limits, we stopped for burgers, fries, onion rings and shakes, then took the long way home, rolling in 174.5 miles later, long about dusk still in t-shirt sleeves.
Rockies in the distance beyond Carter Lake.
The valley below Carter Lake - very dry.
Heading west toward Lyons, CO - the view is always spectacular.
Tim digging for the snacks we brought along... and The Ride looking good after yesterday's bath - we haven't killed too many bugs yet.
We should be green by now but the hillsides are still dry and barren.
It is bone dry out here, one spark and we're toast.
I snap a pic of ol' glory whenever I get a chance.
The Shadow Riders along for the ride.The weather is supposed to be even better tomorrow and I am definitely looking for a Mother's Day ride.
