Took a nice 235 mile ride in the mountains yesterday afternoon.

The weather was nice here yesterday (mid-70's) and I had the afternoon free, so I took advantage of it...............

I started in the foothills, on one of my favorite roads through Deer Creek Canyon.  Made my way through Evergreen, and took Squaw-Pass road (which was recently re-paved last year)



Kept going past Mt. Evans and Echo Lake..............and found a nice mountain creek.



I headed further west, and went up and over Loveland Pass on Rt-6.



I used this opportunity to pop in to Loveland Ski Resort to see how much snow they had (It was opening day. They had 3 runs combining to form 1 big run open)




I headed towards Dillon, and hopped back on I-70 to head for home, cause is was getting late in the afternoon. Stopped for gas in Georgetown right at the 170 mile point of the ride..............I made a side jaunt on Rt-6 heading through Clear Creek Canyon into Golden on the way back into town.........................(They have some construction going on in there, and traffic was slow going)

After I arrived home, I finished with a Stout and a soak in the Hot-Tub............................It was the perfect ending to the day.  :good:

Looking good Alan, with so many of our FJ brothers putting their bikes up for the winter, you are just rubbing salt in to their wounds. Cap't Ron and I went sailing today, the weather was perfect, short sleeves the entire day. Maybe we need a West Coast Winter Rally, I think Steve Moparman is getting a ride organized....
