Justin... The Pikes Peak Hwy is now paved all the way to the top.  The multi-year project was completed a few weeks ago, though the big parking area remains dirt.  Not sure what the plans are for that.  Also, the highway remains open year round depending on conditions, and they get the plows out after storms.  I called ahead for the road "situation".

Hey, you mentioned the book in the other thread.  Would mention the book is loaded with then/now images, and a bunch more, including 250+ maps, 500+ images, etc.   Made it an exhaustive thing so no one would be tempted to improve upon it.  The reviews at Amazon (see sig) note the historical perspectives and the "bunch more".


how could it be improved upon? NO other book will have me and my F8GS gracing the pages (unless i decide to 1-up you, and i really don't think i could manage that). mine came today; outstanding effort Mr. Farson. (hey, should i tell you about the typo i already found ?....)

Welcome to CO  Thumbsup

A tad different than TX weather wise  Lol

Thanks...

That is a BIG reason why we are moving up here, that and I have been looking at moving up here off/on for the past 20 years. After this past summer (and 6 of the previous 7 summers) we were just ready to do it, 90 days of 100+ temps with most in the 105-110 range, 130 straight days over 90, we were ready. I started a new job up here last week, now we just need to find my wife a job up here and sell the house in Austin. She is still down there tending to that.

I did haul the bike up here the weekend before I started, hadn't been able to ride it yet shuttling back and forth to Austin but then it didn't get ridden much this year anyway.
