« on: May 16, 2019, 05:20:44 PM »
Took a nice ride up through Jamestown to the Peak to Peak Highway today.  This is what I have been waiting for!

Did you make it to the New Moon coffee shop in Nederland?  I always stop there when I ride the Peak to Peak.   Just ignore the large oil spot in the parking lot in front of the cafe.  I was there a few days ago and found out how long the stock breather lines last on a LM V.  Answer:  44,000 miles.  Mileage on my LM V:  Just over 44,000.

Didn't make it to Nederland, Dennis.  But I'll stop at the New Moon next time I am there.
Sorry to hear about your Lemans.  Hope you got it all sorted!

Well - having ridden both - I say:

Here's two pix from "Vulture Mine Road" near Wickenberg, AZ:

I just completed a big 5500 mile Rocky Mountain tour. We got trapped in Longmont by cold temps and a wintry mix of precipitation. It caused us to miss Cedar Vale! The Rabbit Ears and Cameron Passes were both chilly.
