Click for larger image Took a ride yesterday looking to traverse Trail Ridge Road while the rest of the Front Range baked in 90+ temps, only to be turned away by 12 miles of oiled gravel laid down in preparation of the Park Service resurfacing the classic 1920′s 12,000-foot-high scenic wonder.

Took a little trickery and cutting a hole in my ceiling to route a cable over the top of one of the garage rafters, but I managed to get the DL650 up in the air enough to get both wheels off at once. Now we’ve just got to drop the wheels off at a shop [...]

In case you haven’t heard what that series is, it’s the followup documentary to Long Way Round – a television miniseries that [...]
