We rode with a group out of Pikes Peak H-D, here in Colorado Springs on a "Conservation Ride" on Saturday! For $10, H-D corporate is buying "trees" to plant to maintain forest areas so we payed up and go a nice 100 mile ride, free pancake breakfast and then their was a "live" band and a after party back at the dealership after the ride!

On Sunday we added to our "Worldwide RIDE" mileage count by putting on 180 miles in the Southern CO. mountains. We headed down to Florence to pick up CO. Hwy. 67 S. and then headed west on CO. Hwy. 69 W. on some excellent twisty roads over "Hardscrabble Pass" and into the hamlet of Westcliffe, CO. for one of the best "mountain views" you'll see and a great plate of "Chili-cheese fries" at the cafe inside the local bowling alley/Meeting hall!
This is at the end of the main drag in Westcliffe, CO. just across from the cafe, the view is almost 180 degree peaks of the San Juan Mountain Range! After lunch we headed back South on CO. Hwy. 69 (not 96!!) to Texas Creek and CO. Hwy. 50 E. for a great run through the "Big Horn Sheep Canyon" along the fast flowing Arkansas River. As we glided on the road, we watched rafters challenging the river, personally I'd rather be on the road as the water is bit mean looking this year! :O Into Canon City and back to CO. Hwy. 115 N. into Colorado Springs and home and NO RAIN!!! YEA!! We did a total of 300 miles to add to the Harley-Davidson Worldwide RIDE total for the USA riders, it was excellent ! :)
