Ducati Brothers

Sunday, got an invite to go riding with a friend and friends of friends.  Two guys on Ducatis, Another BMW R-bike, and a Harley Lowrider.  The "Ducati Brothers" (not actually brothers, but their bikes were) lead the pack, followed by the two BMWs, with the Harley bringing up the rear.  Was a gorgeous ride, at a pretty quick pace.  Had a ton of fun, but don't prefer to ride like that all the time.  It was a little tough, at times, keeping up with the Ducati Bros.

Started in Golden with a full tank:

Headed up Clear Creek Canyon, to Blackhawk, to Peak-to-Peak Hwy, down through Golden Gate Canyon, up Hwy 93 to Hwy 72:

Up Coal Creek Canyon to Nederland where we stopped for some great pizza.  Don't know the name of the place but here's a view of Nederland from the balcony:

From Nederland, continued on to Lyons (Harley town).  Then I split toward home by way of Hwy 36 and Boulder.

Beautiful weather and views.  LOTS of twisty roads taken a little too fast.  Very fun ride, trying to keep up with the Ducati Bros.
