#245718 - 22/12/04 10:48 PM My day off! Pikes Peak and some back roads.
Anonymous Unregistered	So the other day I FINNALY got a day off from everyone. I had a ton of things I need to do, but I decided to hit the mountain. I could only go up about 3/4's of Pikes. I tried to bribe a ranger to let me go all the way up, but that didn't go to well. Still the views and the area are just amazing. Next I hit the back roads, I went from Victor all the way to the Broadmoor, about 25 miles. I loved it. It was a great way to get away but only be 30 mins from my house. Well, right now it's 9 with a wind chill of -3 and about 4" on the ground. I'm so gald I moved to Colorado. Hopefully I can meet up with the Rocky Mt. guys and gals soon. Here are some pics All of them are here: http://www.hostdub.com/modules.php?set_a...=view_album.php

Anonymous Unregistered	Awesome photos!! We haven't had much snow around Chicago, so I haven't been able to test out the X yet. Last year we only had 1 good snow storm, but even then I didn't have time to do any serious playing. Looks like you had fun, and saw some beautiful views!

What'd you offer and what was the reaction? First, Money. Second, I told him I manager of a local pizza place and could get him some free pizza. He thought I was funny and said he would have let me, since I have a 4x4, but he said the wind was the problem. He said they were reporting 30-50 mph winds with 70+mph gusts. Oh well I'll wait for another day Thanks for all the compliments, make sure you check out the whole album.
