    The Gooseberry Inn... you've gotta try the 'sloppy pocket'! Bottled beer and coke products, sandwiches, burgers, mixican dishes, and AMAZING DESSERT! Breakfast buffet on Sundays, biker friendly (gravel parking lot though), and a charming 'country' atmosphere. A great 'halfway' point for a bike ride out to royal gorge.

    This reminded me of The Dairy King in Empire, right after you get off I-70 on the way to Berthoud Pass. Ice cream and speedtraps, yum!

    I rarely think of motorcycles without a little yearning. They are about moving, and humans, I think, yearn to move – it’s in our cells, in our desires. We quiet our babies with cyclic movement, and we quiet ourselves by going.

    Ain't the written word just freakin amazin? D'oh...

    Yeah, but I do remember direction, sites, smells, people's faces, laughter, the excitement...oh and this..."Does anyone wanna ride motorcycles?" Freakin mantra man!

    I really don't wanna know the first thing that goes when it comes to riding a Kawi. In my case, I think it's too late to fix.

    On the longer rides, I always try to make it to Vail. Blu's Beanery has, what they call Chinese Tootsie Rolls. Egg rolls skins stuffed with cream cheese, shrimp, and green onions. Then lather them in wasabi!

    Or, in Steamboat, there are a couple of mexican taverns I can't recall the name of.

    Oskar Blues, or Andrea's Homestead Cafe in Lyons (for close-by places to eat).

    In Estes Park, try Smoking Dave's BBQ on the way to the park out by the Shell Station. It is on the south side.

    I must be one of the only people that think this place sucks a fat one. I've tried it 4 times and every time the the food has been bad and the service worse.

    Hmm, sorry.

    I hit the one in Aurora nearly weekly and have yet to be disappointed in either food or service.

    Didn't we go to the one down in Denver, Josh? After that one.... um.... "convention".

    Yeah, you're right. That place was definitely not all that, and I was all pumped to eat there, too. Oh well...

    Yep.


    Coney Island just west of Bailey on 285. Good stuff! For those of you that are new or just don't know, It's a giant hot dog shaped restaurant. You can't miss it.

    Hungry Bear in Woodland Park deserves a mention if you dig breakfast. Best bacon and pancakes in town!
