Summer Recap - Riding

Since i just started this blog and we are nearing the end of the riding season, i wanted to reflect on the riding this summer. Hilites were 3 B's run, several mountain rides along Peak-to-Peak, stops are our favorite watering holes. We did a 2 day iron butt run to Sturgis to get the perfect pair of sunglasses, ok, the perfect 4 pairs of sunglasses. But the accomplishment was me and my bud Bill rode from Denver to Key West. We did this via New Mexico, Texas, Lousiana, Missisippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas, the Virginias, DC, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska and back to Colorado. We rode almost 7000 miles in 16 days. Weather cooperated mostly. Notable stops were Galveston, New Orleans, Key West, Daytona, DC, Sioux City. There were other stops but cant remember them now. Great scenery and a once-in-a-lifetime ride. Maybe do the PCH next year and Sturgis with my old-lady. Didnt do many poker runs this year, but will change that next year, as me and the old-lady enjoy those. Meeting new people, seeing the new and familiar sites, and checking out the the new watering holes.

NFL final for weekend of 09/12/11

Well i went 13-16 picking the pro games. I must say i just picked the straight winners, instead of winners against the spread. As the season continues, I will pick both straight up and against the spread.

You all have a good week

weekend 09/10/11 sports recap

It was a hard weekend for my personal sports teams. Notre Dame Fighting Irish melted down against the hated rival Michigan Wolverines, the Iowa Hawkeyes lost to intrastate rival Iowa State Cyclones and the Dallas Cowboys fell to the New York Jets on the 10th anniversary of the 09/11 attacks on the US. The weekend weather here in Denver was pretty nice so i didnt spend as much time as normal watching and studying the college and NFL games. I spent some time outside enjoying the great pre-fall weather. I have to say that going into tonight, i have picked 12 of the 14 winners of the NFL games yesterday.

Notre Dame led most of the way, but could not stand up defensively to the Wolverines when it counted and they continue to hurt their own causes by costly turnovers, not that all turnovers are not costly. The Cowboys story is much the same.

Part of my blog will also center around motorcycle rides and such around the area as well. I did get out for a bit on Saturday, but as fall and winter approaches, there won't be much to write about.
