Default First ride of 2011

Took a little day trip out of the city on 24 to Buena Vista CO yesterday, and then rode down to Salida. Went through Wilkerson pass and Trout creek pass both around 9500'. Man what a gorgeous road and nice day to ride. Thought I would share some pics for those of you that because of weather and what not can't ride. Spring is coming and it sure felt good to have the face in the wind. Called my brother up in northern MN and he said "you suck"

Lucky You! We're more than a few weeks away from any serious riding here. Love the country out there, was stationed at Fort Carson from 75-78 and spent many weekends west of the Springs in the Mountains.
