Hubby let me know that there are some important factors about Saturday that I apparently left out. First of all, on our journey from Woodland Park to Cripple Creek with the 2000+ other motorcycles, they block off the highway for us. The streets are lined with people, almost everywhere. It's quite a sight! It's very moving too.
Then you roll into Cripple Creek. There is all ready bikes there and then when the parade's roll in, it puts the the bike count at 5000+. The street is so packed with bikes and people that there is only 1 lane of traffic, and it goes in, for the bikes to come in. We haven't been able to do the ride the last 2 years, but when we did it in 2002, there were not nearly as many people as there were this year! And believe it or not, we forgot our camera....
Like I said before, if you ever get the chance to go and watch a motorcycle rally, go! And if you have the chance to be in it, do it! It is such a neat thing! 2000+ bikers, who have never ridden together before, ride like one long fluid movement. It's a beautiful thing.
