Lot's of opportunities to ride throughout the winter. Love spring & fall
although fall seemed kind of short this year. Maybe we'll have
an early spring.

bulls and bucks either on the road in front of me or by the side of the road this fall.
Never heard of the, "Dolly Pardons", but then the San Louis Valley is a long way from
me and a whole nother world. Spent a week in Alamosa one time years ago and didn't
care much for it. Too far from the mountains. As the crow flies it's
about 40 miles to the foot hills of the Sangre De Cristo range. Rough
country for sure and not many paved roads. Never been to Monte Vista.

in order to get the bike, (and myself), home I'd do it. Sure would suck tho.
I'm usually pretty good at avoiding bad weather but I decided to stop at the
grocerie store on my way home. Was in there about 20 mins., about
the same amount of time the ride home would take. When I came out it was spittin'.

Stings abit don't it? LOL. Got caught a couple of years ago in the same *****. Sucked big time! But, like you I made it home in one piece........and I still remember that ride. 'Nother one, on the way home it started to snow about 30 miles out from the house.......slowed waaaay down but made it home. Still remember that one too. Funny how we remember the "worst" ones, huh?

Trippy, my son and I rode from Jefferson to Buena Vista in a steady rain snow mix
about 20 years ago and I will always remember that one. We were soaked to the bone.
Miserable.
That ride last night only lasted about 30 or 40 mins. and I didn't
get completly soaked. I think this one will pass.
Met a guy one time trying to get to Cali from N.Y. and it was raining
when we met. He really looked miserable. My son and I bought him
lunch in a sit down resturant. Sure hope he made it!
