21st. Annual Veterans Rally and Festival, Cripple Creek, CO. Aug. 17, 2013

Jo and I rode up the pass to Cripple Creek, CO. and the 21st. Annual Veterans Rally and Festival on Saturday, it's a excellent twisty road up to the Creek and with "thousands" of bikers, lot's of vendors and the whole city becoming a tribute to American Veterans!!  There is also a HUGE, (3,500 bikes+), 26th. Annual POW-MIA Recognition Ride, that starts in Woodland Park, CO. and is Police escorted all the way to Cripple Creek to come into town at the end of the Veterans Parade! It's such a heart lifting rally, we even had the "travling Viet-Nam Wall and a excellent and stiring "Veterans Remembrance Ceremony in the City Park, with many POW's from different wars. It's a great place and day to be an, "AMERICAN" Veteran and BIKER! :)

Just headed out for Putt! :)

On Monday August 5th., The Black Hills Rally in Sturgis, SD. starts and sadly we can't afford to be there, even though it's my birthday, RATS! ;)  Well there's usually nothing going on here in Colorado Springs the weekend before Sturgis so we just got out on the scoot for a, "charge the battery ride"! There's a sweet little 110 mile loop out of Colorado Springs on Hwy. 24 E. to Elbert Rd. N. which is all plain's ranchette riding untill it get's a bit higher and your riding in the Pines of the far east area of the Black Forest.

It's all sweet 2-lane road up to Hwy. 86 W. heading to Elizabeth, CO. where we stopped at a new Sonic for a strawberry cream slush, YUM. It was sunny and hot so different than Sat. which was nothing but clouds and rain so we were enjoying the putt!  Saw lot's of bikers coming down from Denver, they just do the same route backwards. We got into Franktown and decided to take Hyw. 83S. back into Colorado Springs thru the Black Forest so a bit more hills and pine trees before we picked up Powers Blvd. back into the Springs, stopped and topped off the tank and headed to the barn to put the scoot away, after a bit of "bug removal", LOL. Not a long day in the saddle but very, very enjoyable! Next Sunday we will be riding in the the "I Didn't get to go to Sturgis Poker Ride", put on by the Pikes Peak Ladies of Harley, luckly the invite "all bikes and riders". Someday we will own a Harley-Davidson, (I feel sorry for the Davidson's, they get forgotten all the time!), for now we will just enjoy getting the hell of out of Dodge on our S40. :)
