Welcome to new and current “Two Downers!” We are starting this new year and making plans. I hope we have some things of interest to you along the way. And as always, looking forward to hearing from you with any comments and suggestions.

This post is an introduction to a forthcoming series I am planning for this year. I will be posting other topics as well but this searies will be the main topic for this year.

It is designed for enthusiasts both within and outside the Western United States, including those considering relocation or interested in touring adventures.

The series will feature a historical perspective, with a primary focus on motorcycle enthusiasts, though automotive tourists will also find relevant content.

This year will highlight Colorado.

Given the state’s vastness, the coverage will concentrate on personal recommendations rather than exhaustive listings. Covering the state extensively could be a lifetime endeavor. Topics I plan to include this year will include some of all of the following:

• National parks or monuments
• Major mountain areas
• Notable resort or tourist destinations
• Restaurants
• Accommodation options
• Other points of interest

I plan to post at least a couple times each month beginning in February. I would do more, but I do plan a couple rides myself, God willing, and as always, work around the house and Yard… Hmmm.

Starting out the series, will be several posts about “America’s Mountain,” an area known as the Pikes Peak Region. A place nearly every American has heard about at some point in their life. An area rich in history, vistas, recreation, entertainment, and great rides.

I’ll do my best with it, and I hope folks enjoy it.

Two Down everybody, happy trails, and safe rides!
