Back in the saddle

It’s been a hot minute since we’ve been able to ride! And when I say a hot minute, I mean a hot dumpster fire minute! Between being busy with work, being sick, weather, house projects, family and many other things, we’ve been out for a while. But, the weather is getting nicer, health is good and the rest has gotten a little better.

We took a little ride recently and it did not disappoint. It was a Gabbert ride and could not have been more perfect. I know we had some good conversational items but I don’t recall them enough to put them down.

The hills are alive…

….with the sounds of motorcycles 😊

We took a run for the hills today and landed in Coleman, TX for the night. We went through Leakey, Brady and Coleman. Home tomorrow and hopefully it will be as beautiful a day at it was today.

Some random comments from the day :

*I’m glad those turkeys kept going instead of changing their minds like they usually do.

*Was that a fox or coyote? (pretty sure it was a coyote)

*What kind of mother %#$&ing convoy is this!

*I think that was my turn!

*Incoherent babbling as Bryan passed a slow care but there were rubber rivets between the stripes in the road.

*Well it’s a Gabbert ride now, we’re in the projects!

And the pièce de resistance so far…Aren’t you proud of me? I didn’t pass them 😁

  • Had to fix my headset that broke! #redneckengineering

Back in the saddle again!

Finally some time to ride ! We started off with a good breakfast.

Then headed West, where the West Texas scenery never lets us down. Stopped for a good lunch and found what could be one of our spirit animals while there. We visited a few cool historical places and continued on to our destination for the night.

Weather was fabulous! Cold and chilly most of the day but still sunshine enough to give us a little sunburned nose.

Paddle faster ….
We’ve stayed in some interesting places but these mirrors have us laughing so hard!

Colorado is breathtaking!

We made it to Estes Park Tuesday afternoon with time to relax just a little. Then we went to town for dinner at Chelitos Mexican Restaurant and some groceries for our days here. It was a beautiful ride. We stopped in Breckenridge and checked in to the HOG Rally and visited with some other friends who are up in the area as well. Today was spent riding through the Rocky Mountain National Park on Trail Ridge Road that was just opened on Thursday, lunch in Grand Lake and then back through the RMNP via TRR again. Started off warm, we stopped so far up before pulling over to put on our jackets only to stop again on our descent to take them off. Lots of curves, breathtaking views, snow and animal sightings. It’s always a good day when we ride!

These “poles” let the snow plows know where the edge is 😳Seriously!? On the way to the top of Trail Ridge Road we still ran into one lane only construction!Grand Lake, CO This girl was carrying her woobie 😊This cow was running at all the spectators protecting that baby!

When riding plans fall apart

The past couple of weekends we have been trying to go for an overnight ride. Things have not worked out for that to happen. First it was weather then it was my son getting hurt in a soccer game. So we’ve just taken a few one day quick rides. Today we had no plans to get up with an alarm but had planned to ride. We picked a place for breakfast and ended up finding our local HOG (Harley Owners Group) chapter there too! Then we went on our way only to stop for gas and to have some other friends that saw us on the highway pull up and say “follow us to our ranch and we’ll give you a tour, the bike will make it no problem!” So off we go. First turn off the highway was a caliche road so instant Gabbert kind of ride! Then we go through the fence and it’s rocky caliche truck tire trail! So for sure a Gabbert kind of ride! Then it opened up and we got in the truck and given a tour around their property which is really nice! It was a nice stop and on our way we went for a cool breezy ride home. Thanks Julian and Diana!

Christmas Time

Say what you want about bikers but if you need something and ask for their help they show up! So whether you’re a member of the Harley Ownes Group (HOG) or one of the many other MC’S thank you for all that you do! Today was the Toys for Tots run and the Marines, LEO’s (Law Enforcement Officers) and bikers showed up in great numbers!

Merry Christmas everyone 🎅🤶🎄🎁👑
