Colorado trip, Labor day week










I went on a great week long motorcycle trip Sept 4, 2011 with a friend Randy to Colorado.
We trailered our bikes the first 700 boring miles to his moms house in Ogallala Nebraska.
That night we met up with Randy's sailboat buddy's at Lake McConaughy, for a fun beach party.
Monday we rode to Colorado Springs, then up the Pikes Peak 14110 summit, wow no oxygen!
Then we rode for the week all over the southern half of the state, all over the best cycle roads we could find. Between Durango and Ouray on the "Million Dollar Hiway", a large mule deer jumped on the the road in front of me while I was going 60mph, whooo, my ABS brakes did their job, I slowed down fast and as I got near, it jumped off the road. At the end of our trip, we rode 1,600 miles of Colorado's best roads, had a great time with memory's for the rest of my life.
