Just to have a different kind of topic, in case an interest, had some minutes to fill and complete a tape. Rode to Echo Lake and just a little bit of everything experienced...
The driveway, local roads, highways, small towns, cruisers, a near miss, scenery, arrival. The typical ride. Six minutes.
Ever go up and down horsepower hill to deckers? A group of us were around there on sunday and what a great time. I would like to see what a bike camera video would look like on that road. big long sweepers @ 100mph, always makes for a great time! Great video, but it looks like someone hit the snooze button a few times, telling by all the traffic.
Oh yes. It is about 30 minutes away. Have many vids of the road. While the washout between Deckers and West Creek is unfortunate, it has lessened traffic considerably south of Buffalo Creek.
Beautiful...just beautiful.
When the clothes of a yopunger man fit me so well,I would visit the Springsonce or twice a year...My youngest sister lived there...Aspen,Breckinridge,Vail,scenic roads,Garden of the Gods...AHHH...The GAerden of the Gods is where my wife and I married....I live in Mi. and compared to Co. it is SOOO DEPRESSING!!!
Truly the great Western and SOuthwest States are where the great SPirit lives.

Well, it is especially challenging living here since I'm on the anal side of the spectrum when it comes to a clean thing Bologna!
Everytime i see something like this i can't help but get purple with envy. Our riding season here is 11 months, but we have absolute shit to ride for 11 months
Not to rub it in , but I ride year round at 8800ft here in the Rockies. Today temps were in the 60's (Ideal) and went on a 120 mile lunchtime/pre-Thanksgiving ride. Yeah, snow will come... had a storm two weeks ago, but it melted in two days and it has been sunny and dry since.
hawc... Take a look at the map below and you'll see. Very close. If you've ridden to the top, then you were on the road (103) of this recording.
Wow, I guess that's why your movie actually gave me goosebumps. It took me back to when I was 16 years old and did that ride. I think we started our ride up Mount Evans from Echo Lake. I think there was a souvenir shop there. A lot of people start from Idaho Springs, but we started from Echo Lake I believe.
Colorado is just so damn beautiful. I love being in the Mountains, they make you feel so small. I rember we did a ride through Vail Pass too that was increadible.
It's funny, everyone talks about Pikes Peak, but nobody talks about Mount Evans.

Now with the salt eh?
It must be nice to live in such an isolated area, yet close to everything thats nice.

Absolutely. Have a recording of most tasteful roads here. Sometimes I think about writing a book.
