Rick,    I just noticed your message today.  I'm not real consistant about getting on the site to keep up with everthing thats going on.   Turns out that it's small world sometimes.  I rode through Lyons on the 10th;  in route to Nederlands for grub and suds.  Wish I would have seen your message to arrange a howdy-doo session.   I work on the 28th or would try to make it down for the day.  Maybe we can catch a ride later this spring.  I usually ride just me and the bike.  Would be fun to have some company for a change.  Thanks for the invite.  Sounds like it will be a great time.

@CRocker: Tell her you're heading out for "Cajun Take Out". I'll make ya a 'go' box :)

@Wyowind: I'm here most of the time. Drop me a note if you'll be in the area, I'll do the same. Chugwater Chilli Cookoff is coming up isn't it?

Can't say that I've ever been to the Chugwater cook-off day.  Started that direction once or twice and found out the road doesn't lead directly there from here.  I usually get wound around some county road and takes all day to find my way back.  Funny how this bike gets lost out there a lot.  Gonna have to make sure not to fix that.  Maybe this year I could find the town of "bison-leaps" - Chugwater that is.

Ok, you guys are making me homesick and jealous that I can't be there. I really want to try Rick's BBQ raccoon or possum or skunk or whatever. So to make me feel better I'm planning to spend that weekend on a beach in Marseille and a drive over to Carcassonne for a look see.

So...Rick...you think one rain-date was enough?  Or, am I just a whiner...? :-\

Thanks again.  Had a great time meeting everyone.  Good to finally make this event.  Been watching for a bunch of years.

A light turn out this year, still a treat to see everyone though :) Not a wrench was lifted either :-/

All told, five C-14's, a GS, new model KLR and an NT. Steve rode up from Loveland with a busted toe, said "the C-14 shifts like butter..." Larry traversed a patch of road ice on his KLR on the Peak to Peak riding up from the south.

Freezing up here at daybreak, warmed up to low 50's by Wretch time. Red Beans and Rice, some corn bread, and a couple of brews. Four pots of coffee too... remember is was cold out ;)

Hey Rick, sorry I could not make it on the rain date. We should ride in the near future as I live just down canyon. Den

I just fired up Sam for the season after replacing a leaky fork seal, and an oil/filter change. 170k miles and she still purrs... kinda ;)

I'm thinking a lunch run / RTE of some sort, maybe mid June? Breckenridge Brewery is a favorite, so is that little cafe at the top of Coal Creek Canyon. Wonderview?

Hey Rick,
All of these sound great. I do not know Wonderview, but would be all in for a ride to any of these places. Currently I am looking forward to Trail Ridge Road on opening day...always a good ride. Den
