One of the sisters is having a facelift. TXDoT states that she will reopen 4/1/21. Could be an April Fools joke but we know how to detour.

As of today.... 4/01/2021... Sister 337 is still closed and we had to detour south through Tarpley.. Beautiful weather and NO traffic to speak of... but the weekend is young and it is Easter so I expect traffic to pick up BIG TIME after today for a couple of days.

Back home after a week in Moab (UT) for Easter Jeep Safari. Got the Jeep cleaned up, and took the Trike for a 100 mile warm up ride. Service scheduled for the end of the week, then ready to head to Texas....

Did a ride up to Willow City Loop today. I thought the Bluebonnet crop was fairly decent. There were tons of those tall white flowers... I don’t know what you call them. One pasture next to a rock home was thick with an all purple color flower... don’t know its proper name either. No Paintbrushes spotted anywhere.

Meandered back on country lanes.

88* and was a pretty breezy ride but nice sunshine!

Hows the new Spyder doing Paws? I was hoping to get over there this year but not going to happen. Major problems took most of my travel money.:gah:

Well phooey!! Was hoping to meet you in person so we could kick Spyder tires!

So far, so good with it. The Helibars and backrest make all the difference in the world for me. I have read that getting away from the original factory tires will make another good difference but will wait until these start wearing down....not having a problem with that at this time.

Wishing you the best on the $$ situation.

Since we are on a bike ride, we won't driving any jeep. I am looking at renting a jeep for the two days that we are there.

Don't forget to pack your rain gear and lightning rods.... looks like spring storms might be popping up.

Im starting out in the morning to avoid snow, hope I dont bring it with with me. One more thing ill have to pack thermal underwear

 

[nucseal]

Must be something big besides TT going on. Everything close is now booked solid.

Texas Bluebonnet and Wine Festival Fredricksburg

Several Singers and Bands playing Kerrville

Open Air Car Show Kerrville

Just to list few. One reason we told everyone to make their reservations way back.

OK, now you have put the JINX on us! This is Texas weather and it changes on a dime good or bad. The old adage April Showers brings Spring Flowers. That is what happens in Texas. So, DblTrbl is correct bring rain gear.

When ready to leave, just south of Arches entrance take 128 N up to I70 for short jump to Fruita, & look for the Col Natl Monument ride. That will take to to south side of Grans Junction & hookup with 50 east to Royal Gorge. Used to be able to ride across the Bridge, but last time there was after the fire & it was a No then.

Oil changed - Check.

New front tire - Check.

Baffles changed out in pipes - Check.

100 mile test ride to verify changes before heading to Texas - Mmmmm, still gotta do this....

Good thing weather is supposed to be nice tomorrow....

Yes wear your stockers out first. The rear will go pretty soon,usually under 10,000 miles. The fronts will last forever since there is no weight on them. You will notice a big difference once all three are replaced.

Got snowshoes ? check

 

[Highaltidude]

Got snowshoes ? check

It's funny you say that.....

We're snowmobilers. I had to get the sleds out of the trailer, along w all our gear, to get things set up to load the Trike for this Texas trip.... And now it seems prudent to put some of the snowmobiling gear back in.....



We are watching the forecast and luckily have some schedule flexibility. As of this morning our weather guys says there's a couple rounds of snow that are supposed to catch us this week.....

Went over the TG a bit this weekend.

Put some miles on the new front tire.

Then spent 2 hours cleaning it for the first time in months...got it loaded up.

Ready for some riding in Texas later this week!
