Spectacular Views - Colorado Springs


I would love to show you all some photos coming through the mountains between Alamosa and Colorado Springs as one minute we are on the flat plains then we are in the mountain with spectacular views, then down on the flats again.   But the photos I get off my phone wont do the scenery justice and am starting to prefer taking big scene pictures with my iPad which I don't get back till the 4th.

So Tuesday we had a big ride, did just over 355 miles and never got to Colorado Springs till 6 pm and it was starting to get dark.  Tried to find camping ground but gave up and got motel and I must say the service and the rooms we got was exceptional.

Next day we booked into camping ground and no it wasn't run by Moonies "garden of the gods".  Is a big street and suburb, then went sight seeing and had a look at Manitou Springs, an historic part of Colorado Springs.  It reminded me of Arrowtown, NZ.   Made for the tourist but was lovely. 

Oh forgot to mention driving into Colorado Springs at 5 pm is a Bitch.  Tail to bumper all the way, were very pleased to get to motel.  Had a very relaxing day and would recommend visiting here.

This morning headed for Denver and found it was too big a city. Couldn't wait to get out, so we had brunch their.   I then put the iPhone head set on and with John Denver playing County Road got out of there and now in Fort Collins.

Observations:-  There are a lot of solo bikers in the US, nice guys just looking around the country by themselves always keen for a chat and to share information.

Customer service is very high here and nothing is a problem.
