A very adventurous 60th birthday today! Started out riding up over Squaw Pass with my favorite little Indian. Things got interesting as we were trying to get back into Denver after lunch in the mountains. Some idiot crossed the median on I-70 causing a fatal crash in front of us. It shut down everything west of Denver.
So, after some creative alternate routing that took us on gravel roads on a 950 pound Ultra Limited for about ten miles (steep mountain roads, BTW), sitting in the rain at a standstill on the side of the road in Morrison for an hour, and another hour trying to maneuver our way home, we finally made it!! Three sport bikes and 10 cars decided I knew where I was going and followed us. I told the first guy on the sport bike I had no idea where I was going. They bailed when the pavement ended, but all the cars followed me into Morrison.
I couldn't have bought a better day if I were Bill Gates! Thanks Lizzy for a perfect 60th!
I'm behind you by a couple of weeks. Was up riding that area Saturday with a group. We got rained on, but not enough that it wrecked the fun.
