A Sunday Ride

I went on a roughly 40 mile ride today east of Colorado Springs.

Mix of paved and dirt roads. Saw some cows. A lot of open fields. A roadside stand (Barry's Fresh Bread) selling some (delicious) homemade bread @ South Peyton Highway/Squirrel Creek Rd.

Was a lovely hour or so, from ~15mph to ~60mph.

Here's the pics:

Toward the end of the ride, I saw Barack and Hillary. At the end of the ride, Hillary gave a speech (took a crap). Unfortunately I did not get it on video. What happened!?

So In the middle of nowhere,you run across a food truck.. of all things. Open for Business How was their food?

I guess the intersection has a lot of traffic. The bread was good. I'm now on Keto probation and need to go lift weights and talk trash to myself, because the ranch/italian seasoning bread was amazing.

Great way to spend the day, glad you had a good ride. Unable to get out on the bike so watched my 3 yr old grandson for most of the day then went to the range. Almost as therapeutic.

Ride safe.

Damn that's the best speech I've heard ether of them make [ROFL1]

Have to try that stand next time I am out that way.

Got shut down by rain/sleet twice yesterday. Ended up doing a short ride but the best color for fall.

I'm jealous. I don't have time to dedicate to long rides and have to make do with my jogs to work and school.

OP said he went 40 miles. Took about an hour.

Glad he had a good, safe time.

I passed a cert exam Saturday, so I decided to put further study on the back burner for a few days. Tomorrow starts studying for the 2nd exam for the higher cert, so I'll be back to not much time between theory and labs.

Indeed, was not an all day thing. The TW200 is not a fast bike by any means (absolute WOT max is about 65), so I limit my road riding to country roads, trails, and slower streets. That thing will go anywhere though -- just not the interstate.

How are you liking the TW200? Growing up around dirt bikes, I've known of the "fat tired" bike for many years, and as a youngster, kind of clowned on it, but now it piques my interest, if for nothing more than some back roads, and my non highway commute to work.
