New tires

Well, thought I would have the new front and rear car tire on by this weekend to give them some breakin before I head to Cortez. No such luck. The new front tire was delayed getting here and won't be here until Monday afternoon. So I guess they go on Tuesday.

The good thing about my route to Cortez on Thursday, pretty straight roads for the first 360 miles. Going from Akron to Limon to Rocky Ford and then cutting over to Walsenburg. The trip stays pretty straight until I get past Alamosa for a ways.

Nice try, but you're not getting me to believe that straight roads have redeeming features! :)

Speed. True Speed there Dan. Also, when you need a few miles to wear the coating and break them in it is nice.

Sounds like a great trip Joel. Wish I could be riding in Colorado.
