Colorado, one more time

We try again a Colorado adventure: Manitou Springs, Denver, Georgetown, Steamboat Springs



We purchased a Kendon motorcycle trailer, thinking to escape the heat and tedium of riding out of Texas. This idea worked out very well, although we had to rent a pickup to tow it (owning only a Prius).

Here we are hangin' with our bros at a truckstop in Amarillo.

Made it to Manitou Springs, a pleasant resort town near Colorado Springs

Manitou Springs

Some great restaurants there:

Hungarian Goulash

Polish Pieroges

So far we've trailered about 1000 miles and got the bikes on and off the trailer without dropping them or incurring skeletal fractures. Looks like we are getting the hang of it. 

We warm up with a curvy but easy half-day ride and sightseeing in mining towns Victor and Cripple Creek.

Goin' on the run;
Goin' down ' Cripple Creek,
Have a little fun."
