23rd Annual United Run

Jo and I rode the yearly "United Run", it's a gathering of all the clubs, weither 1%er or just local riding clubs for a "timed run" to support the Rocky Mnt. Motorcycle Musuem and the Fallen Biker Monument. It was a AWESOME day, finally a day with only breezes instead of big time wind, lot's of sunshine and LOTS of scoots and folks with smiles on their faces.  The idea of the run is to figure out what "route and time" the scouts did and get as close as possible.

LOL, as usual we didn't even come close but that's ok as we mainly just wanted to RIDE and the first leg they listed was up Ute Pass to Chrystola and morning is a great time to find low traffic heading that way so we took it and enjoyed the mild twisty's going up the pass from Colorado Springs. We then headed to different points and places to have our sheet signed and time stamped. One really cool thing is that the local 1%er MC, let us use their club house for a stop, that's something that the avg. rich or poor urban biker rarely get's to see and they we're extreemly friendly!!

One of the check points was a new Biker Clothes Shop, so of course I picked up a sweet T-shirt to re-start my biker wardrobe, LOL! ;)  The ride ended up at the local Eagles Chapter building, we had a soda and some snacks and awaited the drawing for door prizes and the 50/50 drawing. Jo won a door prize of a $15 at Mountain Man Fruits/Nuts and Candies, which was cool as that too was one of the check points and she saw some dark choclate covered rasins she'd like to try but our budget was on the low side being rent due so now she can get them! It was finally over, we headed back to the barn (storeage area), got the scoot bedded down and walked the 6 blocks back to the apt. Fired up the oven for steak and potatoes dinner, YUM. It was just a really good day to be alive and in the wind, can't wait till next weekend! :)

PS: Sorry no pictures, I was just ENJOYING the ride too much to bother with the camera!
