| Oct 5, 2002 | Hwy 455, 561 | Pretty damn good, considering I'm in Florida of all places. Pretty twisty. My bike needs work, but fun in spite of that. Good potential. Fun-Factor: 8 |

| June 23, 2002 | Second Creek Track | Three sessions. No battery. Friggin' awesome. But, I crashed out at the end of the third session. Fun-Factor: 10 |
| June 5, 2002 | Boulder Canyon | Matt Rhode (Honda 550) and Joe Fiero (Superhawk) went up to rip some tires up. Good time, good road. Cops up top. Fun-Factor: 9 |
| May 24, 2002 | Boulder to Pheonix and Back | Incredible 2,650 mile road trip through the mountains and the Arizona desert. Fun-Factor: 10 |
| May 15, 2002 | Bear Creek, N. Turkey Creek, Hwy 285 | Darrick and I went up to burn some rubber off (and me to burn some release compound off of my new tires). Was fun, but had some engine problems, and there was some sand on the bottom of Turkey Creek.. Fun-Factor: 7 |
| May 4, 2002 | Left Hand Canyon | Took Ira up Left Hand. Was a little cold, rained a little, had a some sand, and I had bran-spankin' new tires... so I went pretty slow. Was fun to take Ira, though. Fun-Factor: 7 |
| Mar 21, 2002 | Boulder Canyon | Man I love this canyon. No traffic, sandy, salty, meltoff, cold as a tit. Conditions were't so good. 60 mph road right now. Still need a new rear tire. Fun-Factor: 8 |
| Feb 17, 2002 | Boulder Canyon | So far, this winter has sucked. Went to see what the
conditions were like. Road was pretty sandy and salty. Couldn't go
too fast. Plus, I need a new rear
tire. Fun-Factor: 7 |
| Nov 10, 2001 | Boulder Canyon, Peak to Peak, Left Hand Canyon, Hwy 36, Hwy 7, Boulder Canyon | Ride w/ the Co Sportbike club. I led the route, which was fun, except for the fact that we Peak to Peak and Left Hand had snow/ice patches, and it was friggin' Cold! Fun-Factor: 6 [pics] |
| Nov 03, 2001 | Deer Creek Canyon, N. Turkey Creek, Hwy 103, Hwy 6. | Ride w/ the Co Sportbike club. Only 4 of us went. Darrick came along on his new GSXR-750 and brought a friend. Fun, but 103 was bumpy, had lots of shadows, cold, and was icy/snowy at one spot. Lost my 'chicken strips' on a left-handed corner. Spun the rear tire on a corner, too. Fun-Factor: 6 |
| Oct 20, 2001 | Hwy 103, 24, 67, 285 | First ride with the Co

One guy was from Seattle and had been riding for two weeks on an R1. Rained on us 5 or 6 different times. Chilled out ride. Hwy 40 between Berthed Pass and Winter park rocks! Almost scraped my mirror on the asphalt. pic 1 pic 2 pic 3 Fun-Factor: 9 |

| Apr 30, 2001 | Boulder Canyon | Went to Nederland w/ Darrick. Warm, clean, low traffic. Very fast. Leaned more today than I think I've ever leaned. For some reason, this time through was "super". didn't even notice the bumpy roads. Noticed that I'm getting sloppy in my precision.. need to fix that ASAP. Fun-Factor: 10 |
| Apr 22, 2001 | Hwy 72, Peak to Peak Hwy, 6th Avenue, Hwy 93 | 60 mile circuit. Hwy 72 was very dirty, especially after the pass. Somewhat bumpy road. Peak to Peak is always nice. Very little traffic. Cold. Clean. Some melt-off on the road. 6th is the perfect road. Got to watch for cops, though. Lots of traffic. Fun-Factor: 8 |
