| This is a repeat to a spontaneous Ride that took place this past year on July 17, 2005. There were several of us who decided to make this trip as Linda and I had never been there before. We had a very nice day. This year we planned it so that we could ride the bikes up to the Bells rather than having to take the bus as required between Memorial and Labor Days. Bring a picnic lunch and we will eat at some of the picnic tables there. Look forward to seeing you all there. This is one of the most photographed land marks in the nation let along here in Colorado so bring your camera. | |||
