Starting in 2002 several of my Colorado riding buddies (it varies a little each year) have been making our first "trip" of the season by heading from Colorado to the southwest to get in a little riding. It is always a challenge in the Spring to get out of Colorado, even in late April. It might be beautiful one day, but you can have several feet of fresh snow on the passes, including I-70 and Vail Pass. For us: Always an adventure!!! Some of the great locations have included: Prescott, AZ; Grand Canyon; Tucson, AZ; mountains of AZ (Coronado Trail, Showlow, etc); Laughlin, NV; Big Bend National Park, TX (Carlsbad Caverns on the way); Texas Hill Country (wildflowers); and the canyon country of UT (Zion, Bryce, Escalante, Capitol Reef, etc). Lots of good times with good friends.
After CinDoug put together his beautiful slideshow on Rockies-Gold "Riding with Friends," I decided to do something similar for the ones of us who have been so fortunate to make these great trips (I did miss one year for some stupid reason). So, thanks to Doug for the idea and inspiration, but a big thanks to my riding buddies that make it all so much fun. NOTE: This is the only trip that we do each year that is specifically "Guys Only." Long days, lots of miles, sometimes COLD weather -- better with just the guys!
So, lean back and enjoy my review of our Spring Trips!
Cool pictures. I've never seen that 'effect'. What editing program is that ?
