My work has me spending the next couple weeks working off Voyager and Northgate in CO Springs.

The drive is long, but it sure is beautiful...

Not sure of the view is worth dealing with the traffic. Of course, maybe you are going "against" traffic.
Ridge

Yep, against traffic both ways. Doing about 70-75 in the morning, 85-90 in the afternoon :P

Dude, a 1997 Cavalier convertible at 90mph is a scary thing. The mirrors rattle like hell, the windows whistle so loud.

But the sport tires make the ride less wobbly than my winter tires :)

If you ever need some great food up on the North end of town check out Colorado Mountain Brewery off of Interquest Pkwy. The BBQ Bison tacos are killer.

Dude, that's pretty close to where I live and those pics are making me homesick. I get to wake up everyday and see/smell southern Asskrackistan.

Where are those? My coworkers told me about the only places they know to eat at, a Pizza Hut and Carls Jr up at Voyager and Northgate.

Ever consider taking 83 if the traffic is bad? I hardly use 25 anymore.
Ridge
10-15-2011, 15:01
I might consider it if I ever encounter any traffic :)

Ahh, I misread an earlier post. My bad.

I like taking 83 when I'm not strapped for time. It's a relaxing drive.

I'll second that.
I take 83 regardless of traffic. Much nicer views, much more relaxing drive, and 9/10 times you'll get there faster than you do on I25 even with no traffic.

+1 on hwy. 83. Just watch for the 18 wheelers doing 90 mph in your lane!
