Race to the Clouds..motorcycles now banned

I took this pic of my buddy coming down Pike's Peak in July 2020. I never finished my ride report for that Colorado trip, but without question that Pike's Peak run was absolutely the highlight and capstone of the entire ride. We went late in the day when it was partly cloudy and getting cooler at the peak, so traffic was minimal and we had a stunning ride up and down that mountain.

I think it's New York that they say regulations are written in blood.

Lately they have decided we don't need regulations and the blood is beginning to flow again.

It's easy to say personal responsibility being taken away; but people forget that someone else has to clean up the mess left behind. We have a local hill (Yarnell Hill) that bikers like to bomb. Law Enforcement tends to watch it carefully because they don't like dealing with the aftermath of mistakes - anymore than anyone else.

So have fun out there, but be considerate of the folks that may have to render aid in the event you blunder.

I have a friend from NYC who said, "You know why there's a law against spitting in the water fountain? Because in a city the size of NY, at some point in time some @$&*^%! was spitting in the water fountain!"
