"Life Should Be An Adventure"
MotoAdventure Group Ride
This adventure ride was put together by Bruce Dalton and the gang over at MotoAdventure Kawasaki of Loveland/Ft. Collins. 
We all met at McDonald's for an early breakfast and to meet and greet as many of us had never ridden together.
We had a good showing with many KLR's, a Honda XRL, two DRZ's and a Yamaha TTR.
A quick pit stop and then we were on our way.
A nice ride up and over Horsetooth Reservoir.
Down into Belvue ....
...and a quick run through Rist Canyon.
A Stop at Stove Prarie School for a little group travel orientation.
The off road portion of Old Flower's Road begins.
A good adventure ride has a little bit of everything, and a helping of mud  always makes things interesting.

With such a large group, I had to constantly ride ahead, snap some photos and then play catch up.  I was surprised that there were no major spills and all the riders seemed to be having a good time in the slush.
While there were a number of breaks, this group came to ride,  and the weather was perfect!
Down off of Flower's  Road...
...and across Pengree Pass.
A break in the mountain town of Rustic before heading up the Poudre Canyon.
Even the twisty pavement portions of the ride were fun!
We were beginning to put on some milles, and with the hot sun and dusty roads it was time for another break above Chambers lake.
There were many campers back in this area, and their vehicles made for some slow going and lots of dust.
Our only female rider had already turned off, and of course the rest of us guys got a little "disoriented"...notice I didn't say LOST.
Fortunately Jim Plumb had the Forest Service maps for the area we were riding in...and yep, we were not lost! Men never are!
After several hours of riding, the heat and dust were having an effect.
One last break before the group split into two groups.  One went over 7 Mile Pass, while the other looped back over to Rustic where they would all meet up again. 
Thanks to Bruce and the guys from MotoAdventure Kawasaki for organizing a really fun ride.  Let's do it again sometimes!
