Hi All,

I could just feel myself getting into touring mode.
That is what I call THERAPY.

"ride of a thousand corners"
Blaine,
Some of the riders from Loveland. CO use that road to start a ride they call "ride of a thousand corners". Here's their description of the route ...
Start in Lyons and ride the road in the video to Hwy 7/Peak to Peak Hwy (south) to just before Ward. Take Lefthand Canyon Drive to the bottom, turn around and ride back up to Ward (note: be sure to go the posted speed limit thru the little town just after leaving HWy 7 until you get to the pipe with the water running from it). Then back on Hwy 7 (south) to Nederland...East down Boulder Canyon, then Hwy 93 to Coal Creek Canyon (West) back to the Peak to Peak Hwy towards Blackhawk, then go east at Golden Gate Canyon and end somewhere in Golden.

I haven't done it yet, but I've been promised a 100km ride with not one single straight. That'll be in couple of weeks.
Two mates found it at the end of last year when my bike had already been laid up.
Can't wait. Going for a 300km shakedown ride on Sunday to see if everything works after all that spannering.
I fired her up last Sunday and she sounded good but dripped petrol from number four float bowl so four new 'square rings' (they're not 'O' shaped) ae on order. Hope they come through tomorrow.

Much Afraid
David,
The two songs on the video soundtrack are from their album titled "Much Afraid".
If you already subscribe to any of the internet music services you can listen to their songs/albums before you buy. I subscribe to Rhapsody because it's free with my Comcast internet service.
