XTreme Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 1 hour ago, DesmoDog said: I was playing around with video software a little more and came up with somethign that shows the beginning of a ride yesterday. Basically from Earache's house to the interstate entrance ramp. The first couple minutes are the run from his house to Central City. they have been edited... the last few minutes are a look at some of Central City, Colorado, for those of you who like that sort of thing. I got tired of trying to filter out wind noise and don't have suitable music on my laptop to put over it, so I suggest viewing it at little or no volume... http://teamyikes.com/Guzzi/CentralCity.mp4 Great quality!

Desmo and I were talking about that; it takes a lot of effort and work to live up here, but I think it's totally worth it. Lots of people move up here and last about a year before quitting and moving back to the cities 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earache Posted July 29, 2021 Author Share Posted July 29, 2021 After not killing ourselves on bikes for a few days, we decided to see if we could do it in a Jeep instead. Headed up Jones Pass with Desmo at the wheel... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earache Posted July 29, 2021 Author Share Posted July 29, 2021 Almost to the top and - denied! Snow blocks the summit and access to the back side. Well poop. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earache Posted July 29, 2021 Author Share Posted July 29, 2021 The good news is that the adventure isn't over. Due to the narrow trail, Desmo gets to back down the hill in reverse. Good times. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That snow (Jones Pass) is over 12,450 feet up... depends on which website yyou believe. Here's a picture Earache took at the top of the pass a few years ago with no snow. This was taken when I had a rental out there. Nothing parties like rental! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
