Sunday Ride
I went exploring north of Fort Collins aiming for the unpaved Owl Canyon road. This is the stretch of road to the west of where Taft Hill Road ends. It’s a nice surface, great scenery, but way too many fast moving cars and it only goes 2 miles before it runs into CR72 which is worse.
No big deal, there are plenty of other interesting roads. I’m not sure what this was, but it looked tempting in the heat.
Here’s what the country looks like on the north end of Taft Hill Road; wide open spaces.
And here’s a cornfield just north of Wellington.
I’m experimenting with Syntace C2 SL aero-bars since I’ve seen pictures of Fargo’s set up with them. So far, they make the front end feel very heavy, it’s nice to be able to flop over and take the weight off my hands, and you can hang all sorts of crap off them.
They may be a huge pain-in-the-arse for commuting, though, so I may use them as “Special Occasion” add-ons.
