Ride to Pueblo - Sunday 4/26?

Bick · April 22, 2009, 07:55:15 PM

Going to head down to Pueblo on Sunday to watch a little MRA action.

Anyone know what condition 67 and 9 are in?

Hi Bick, I haven't been up that direction in a while, but I will take a scout ride Fri. or Sat. morning for You, get an idea what this side is like. I know the chip seal portions on hwy.9 will be loose after this winter, as usual. do you want to run through Cripple Creek or around to Hartsel ?, Give Me a hollar... [moto]

I think (and this hinges on road conditions) to go around Cripple Creek - 24 to 9, like we did last year.

Sounds good, I'll run hwy. 9 toward Hartsel ( hwy. 24 ) and check it out. hope to go fri. after work....do a venison run.

Careful, I've done the venison run before and I can promise you there are easier ways to kill a deer than using a motorcycle. $:-\$

Hello, Scottish....How are Ya ?? You're right, there are better ways, when I was driving Kenworth's we had "Venison on the grille", but the motorcycle is a much more sporting challenge !!!

Yeah, I'm all about sporting. I once killed a grizzly bear with a loose-leaf notebook.

I'm doing good how are you and Shannon? Are you guys planning to make Ouray?

I did the ride to Bishop's Castle on Tuesday, on down to Colorado City, than back up to the Castle, left at the T to Silver Cliff, up through Texas Creek and then back in on 50. There were about three patches of gravel that crossed the whole road en route to the Castle, but most stayed in the center or outside of the lane.

OH, YEAH....Ouray is a positive!!!! We are all doin' great, still employed and healthy, can't ask for much more.

Hey Bick, didn't make it all the way to Hartsel, but the road was fine, a bit frillie around the edges, but still good. Deer were out in force, mostly on Fremont side, but right in the road!!! Beware....

Scottish, scored the KZ,a bit rough but all original and no sign of ever falling over, am taking pictures for a build history,is going to be fun!! Nothing like butchering a police bike, while drinking beer of course
