Took a ride through Rocky Mountain Park in Estes Park, CO, on Saturday. Roughly 240 miles. Awesome trip! Plenty of good curvy roads, lots of nice scenery and honestly, Berthoud Pass (marked F on the map) was a great time! The little XJ ran great and the carbs never skipped a beat.

And after riding on 20 miles or rotomilled and gravel roads, a celebratory picture to show asphalt again!
