Colorado Raiders in Wyoming at the Egg and I...

Kind of a mixed day yesterday... pretty cool and feelin' kinda... Blah... in the morning... we still wanted to make a long ride on the Raider... so we did!

Got geared up in the morning and made another loop up to Cheyenne. Late breakfast at the egg and I... where they were surprised we we riding... "A little Cool isn't it?" :o) I love it when we're doin' something where most others fear to roll! :o) ...

... and to tell the truth... if you've got the right gear... it ain't too cold! ... and that's COOL! :o)

Few weeks back I bought some jeans up in Cheyenne... washed 'em twice... wore 'em once, and they started to split a seam... so we rolled that Big Red Motorcycle 'cross town, and swapped 'em out... and then run back out of the snow in Wyoming... headed for Loveland...

The gal who taught Heidi in her Motorcycle Training class this past weekend had some Touring/Cruiser coats Heidi wanted me to look at... We'd been looking at leather, but this coat was an excellent price, with really nice style, and plenty of hard armor built in... so now, She's got most of her gear...

Gloves, helmet, Boots and jacket... just need to decide on pants/chaps or maybe bohn armor...

Left out of Loveland and took a loop up behind Horsetooth reservoir... started to roll up past Stove Prairie... thinking we could drop off into Poudre Canyon, and come back around that way... but, wouldn't you know it?... started raining a lil' bit... that didn't mean much to me... but up ahead it sure looked like that rain was turning over to snow... so I exercised my "feminine side"... (that's when a fella uses some discretion) ...  :o)

... and just turned around to stay out of that weather...

I don't think Heidi shares my perception of the Fun you can have, yet, in finding out just how much you can endure :o) ... I'll leave that for another day...

end of this day, we'd covered a bit over two hundred miles through 36 degree on up to 50 something... snow and windy in Wyoming, to warm, with all our gear in Horsetooth... and muddy coming back up the road to the trailer...

That seat we had made for Heidi proved it's worth... the old one, she was uncomfortable in not much more that twenty miles... yesterday, sittin' on the custom seat... she was still grinning... and more miles left in her...

Little things, that don't seem to add up to much all alone, seemed to pile up throughout the day... and in the end... turned it from a Blah start... to a pretty fine, comfortable, day... and that's the best.

We just got to get better at snappin' pictures when we're on the Bike!

Take Good Care
