Yea Vanish, Colorado is our favoite place to go on the bike. We've been out there 7 times now. This time we even got hailed on but got lucky and it was only about marble sized. The video doesn't really do it justice.
Don's video's of the No-door were great!!!!!!! Glad to see you finally driving one of your vans. wideload

now you know why i love it here. i ride my bikes all over the state because there is so much to offer, it could be 90-100 degrees in town and within 45-60 minutes i'll be at 11,000 ft with patches of snow on the ground!
great video!!!
james

p.s. my offer always stands, that if anyone here is passing through, feel free to PM me or call, etc.

Thanks James. That trip was kind of a spur of the moment thing and the closest we got to the Denver area was Colorado Springs. The next time I'm in your area I'll try to make time to give you a shout. I really like Rocky Mountain National Park so I'm sure we'll be back sometime. wideload

Tom we road through the Garden of the Gods and went to the Flying W Ranch for the dinner show that night. Didn't make it to Pike's Peak, we'll save that for some other time. We spent most of our time in south-western Colorado. Went to Montrose, Ouray, Silverton,Durango, Cortez, Telluride, and Aspen. Riding the Rocky's is always a good time.
