I was born and raised in Colorado Springs, CO. Home of John Elway (well Denver anyway), Pikes Peak, the 'X' Games, Air Force Academy, Olympic Training Center, Coors, and high altitude testing for all the major american car manufacturers. I then got married and moved to Brooklyn, NY. I work and design in Manhattan, in the ultimate 'Rat Race'. My folks moved to Vermont around the same time, so I spend a good deal of time up there as well. I am going to show you the cool out-of-the-way places. The famous places you can get a postcard. Hope you enjoy!
WELCOME TO MY HOOD!

Make it out of Legos, and they will come. Make it into a bike, and they will stay.

Hey Bobby,

Thanks for the great pics! Tell me, what part if VT is that?

Clark

The pretty part... heh heh. Over near Bradford.
Glad you like the pics, I am lucky to be around such beauty from time to time.
 
Ah, reminds me of the days when I lived on a farm in Windfall, In. A town you would never know existed if I didn't tell you about it. :lol:
 
Wow, great pics! :D Thanks for posting them, they were fun to look at! :wink:
 
Man I would love to ride those back roads in Colorado, get some good pics,
and kick back some cold brews. So cool.
New York and Vermont man you are well travelled, keep taking the cool
pics of the places and things some of us will never see.
 
Thanks everybody! I love Colorado, and hope to make my way back in a couple of years. Btw, a couple credits on the pics... My buddy Dave, is 'Galaxy Flyer' here on RRB and he rocks quite a few bikes- cruisin' one of his galaxy flyers in the pic as a matter of fact. Then the 'Chopper' Crew pictured is that of 'Dan Jose' also of RRB, come to find out. Anyway, I'll post more pics as i have more adventures. Party on Garth!
 
...in the pic of the chickens sittin on the fence; do you have any pics of the red 48-52 Ford truck in the background?
Thanks for a great thread!
