Nice to hear from you all!  Temps typically won't stop me (Though there is truth to the saying, "Cold is when the temperature is below your age"), but road conditions will and even this journey wasn't without, "Steve, what are you getting yourself into".  But anyway, sneaking out like this does give one a slight satisfaction that one was taken away from winter.

Made it out to Vale and Denver last year. (In a plane not on a bike!) You guys have some of the nicest scenery in the country.

Sfarson,

What the GSA not up to the task. I was up in your neck of the woods at the end of November picking up a Blue/Black 04 FLHTCSE.

WOW!!!  How longs your driveway?????  I thopught mine was long at 7/10s of a mile, of course all gravel.

Did get to ride Christmas Eve and also Christmas Day, was in the mid 40s in Maryland.  Put 134 miles on the new Duracell.

Cold and windy here in Colorado, going to be -2 tonight, winds last night were gusting over 60 MPH! But Wednesday it should warm up to almost 50! Yesterday in the southern mountain town of Alamosa, the wind chill was -48, almost like Minnesota!

Early summer top of Trail Ridge, 12,183' above sea level. This was a run from a local shop Red Hills Werx, in Lyons.

I agree, Colorado is a beautiful place to ride. I rode thru there a couple of years ago.

BUT IT WASN'T 10 DEGREES OUT. I did get to take a THREE hour ride yesterday, 41.4 degrees not bad. Half hour to the bar in Hannibal half hour back. I guess its all in how you count.

Here's a picture of a nut from Red Hills Werx in Lyons, CO, this is the road in front of the shop.
