Vacation's over. - Doug_imp - 04-26-2015
Back to the grind tomorrow. Got to get out on the CB a few times between rain storms. Too much snow and cold in the mountains still, but got away for a while and rode out on the prairie a good 70 or so mi. There is a two lane highway that runs sort of parallel to I-70 through all 4 or 5 small towns from Denver to Kansas. Hadn't been out that way in several years. It was great to have the whole road to myself, there was literally no traffic. I came upon this race track. Sign said High Plains raceway. Gonna have to check that out further. And what better to have across the road from a race track than a shooting range? I was actually surprised there were no bullet holes in that signhttp://cb1100forum.com/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif. Past the track and there was nothing around for miles, except for the tumbleweeds blowing across the road. Was getting a stiff head/crosswind for next 20 or so mi. I stopped at the ghost town of Last Chance. Last chance in more ways than one. That was the only tree and or bush within many mileshttp://cb1100forum.com/forum/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif. So after a rest and stretch it was time to start heading back. It was looking bad to the west but didn't get caught in any rain. It was a nice ride, good to clear my head. Got out a few other times for more local rides. 1,700 mi on my CB now, I am really loving this bike.

Looks like you had a very enjoyable ride Doug. I've ridden mine from Lyons to Estes Park and back (only 20 miles each way on US36, longer if you take Colorado 7) but not yet into the really high roads. I plan on hitting Trail Ridge when it opens at the end of May. I'll be sure to bring my camera for that ride.

Nice. Sorry to hear you have to go back to the grind. Still, it'll make the next ride even more enjoyable.
