On Sunday we headed out to get in a ride and decided to just stay on the highways, both 2 and 4 lanes instead of ridding "twisty" back roads. We found that our 2014 Harely-Davidson 883 Sportster, Super Low doesn't really like "hardcore twisty" roads as much as it seems to be made for "2 lane highway" riding. That's ok with us, we did a LOT of twisty roads riding on our sport tourer's we've owned in the past. The H-D loves the open road, not interstate, which it does well but the 2 lane back country highways!
We headed up the pass, (Ute Pass) thru Woodland Park and Divide, CO. on Hwy. 24 West. Our first stop was going to be the Ranger Station at Wilkerson Pass but sadly it was closed so we headed into Hartsel, CO. to get a drink and snack at the tiny hamlet's general store! Headed back a bit to pick up CO. Hwy. 9 S that is 60 miles of open two lane highway with great views and ends on CO. 50, where we headed east into Canon City, CO. (pronounced: Canyon), then continuing on Hwy. 50 we picked up CO. Hwy. 115 N. out of Penrose and back to the home front in Colorado Springs. Close to 200 miles and a very enjoyable ride! :)
