Early Spring Mountain Trip...

...almost too early!

Headed down to Colorado Springs in the morning. The plan was to take US24 through Pike National Forest and meet up with US285 just outside Fairplay and take that back down into Denver.

Once I got through Wilkerson pass, just west of the National Forest, the winds picked up and temp dropped to about 36. It stayed like that all the way to Fairplay. Thank-you heated riding gear!

I got my soup on in Fairplay and headed east on 285 back to Denver. It was not as windy and the temps picked back up into the 50's once I got over Kenosha Pass. It was a great 230 mile ride, but maybe a little early to be venturing up to the high country.
