Chicago to Denver!

I've crossed the plains numerous times. The way to do it (if you have the time), is take the secondary highways... like U.S. 24, 36, 136, 50, etc. Enjoy the small towns, the country diners, the historical markers, etc. If you super slab it and fight with the 18 wheelers and wind, the quality of the ride goes

real fast.

Temperature was in the upper 70's today and will be the same tomorrow. Thursday will be 30's and snow which will probably be in Iowa by Friday or Sat. If you have time to ride in Denver, send me a PM. I ride almost every day.

Thanks for the advice guys. Ill let ya know when I get back. Im guessing it will take me two days but who knows. Im not going to push it, if I get tired im going to stop. Id LOVE to stay in the denver area even if its jut for a few hours to ride im SURE they have AMAZING scenery but Im not sure if Ill have time. Just depends on travel time.
