It's not archived, just rarely active. In fact, you were the last to post in it.

Edit: or maybe it is archived. Won't let me post in it.

Keep this one going, see if it gets wheels.

You might copy and paste the goon list into the OP, but that's just like a suggestion, man.

I can throw together a couple that I enjoy as I have time.

Here's a couple loops I like.

Loveland-Estes Park-Allenspark-Lyons-Estes Park-Loveland
Hwy 34 between Loveland and Drake is closed right now, but it'll be open again in the spring. This is a good weekday route, don't even fuckin bother on a weekend during tourist season at Rocky Mtn National Park. Every road out of Estes will be lovely with Texans. End the ride at Dairy D-Lite in Loveland.


Laporte-Walden via Poudre Canyon-Laramie-Laporte
Start at Vern's for breakfast and a bigass pecan roll. Hwy 14 through Poudre Canyon is sometimes bad on weekends, sometimes not. The earlier in the morning the better. Lots of nice pulloffs for reflection and a piss. Walden has a couple decent places for lunch, and sits in North Park, a cool big valley between the Medicine Bows, Never Summers, and Park/Routt ranges. Hwy 287 between Laramie and Laporte can get windy as fuuuuck. Lots of pronghorns.

Buying the bike this weekend. It's in great shape and he was willing to drop the price a bit.

How strict are cops around here with license plates? The current plate mount is way up under the tail and sideways. If cops won't give me poo poo about it I plan on just keeping it that way.

I dunno bro I don't ride with squids.


Real answer: I've never been stopped on my bike, but I ride like an old man in town and an XJ600 is hardly copbait. I've never seen anything that indicates that bikes are profiled though. ATTGATT and minimal hoonery are probably your best insurance.

Hwy 119 between Nederland and Boulder is absolute poo poo. It used to be good, but there's full on two-track ruts in the road now so don't even think about trying to use the whole lane if you want to have anything approaching an enjoyable ride. Drop down in one and you'll do some clenching.

gently caress Boulder canyon and gently caress Boulder too.

And hotsauce, you should be fine with your plate. I called the cops on a dickhead stunting in my cul de sac who had a plate like that and he didn't get a ticket that I saw.

call to action posted:

gently caress, it's way too warm along the Front Range. I've been under a total fire ban for a week or two now, with stage 1 bans before that. I really should not be able to ride to Leadville from Denver right now.

On the plus side, Deckers is really nice right now, minus the amount of sand still on the road.

A buddy of mine just rode from Red Feather to Poudre Canyon on dirt on his street bike with no problem. Climate change is a hoax yall.

But on the other hand, gonna braaap next week after work.

Aw gently caress :(
I'm sorry man. That is the worst feeling. Just weeks of going back and forth between white hot rage and something like loneliness.

Insurance?

Bike plated and ready to go. I'll definitely be checking that area out and am down to meet up too. I have very little dirt experience so I'll probably be pretty slow.

I got some fun gravel roads up here. We should do a ride. I'll have weekends free again some time in late June or July.
