I just had my first ride of the season today. Granted it was only to work, but it was still a ride!
Went from mid gilpin county colorado to blackhawk colorado on my xt250 dualsport. Was a bit cold, but other than the bike not being jetted for the altitude (stock jetting is still on sea-level, i ride at 9000 feet :o) the roads up here are totally dry and 99.9 percent free of the dreaded pea gravel.
Can't wait to get the vision up and running so i can do this ride right!
Glad you got out - the weather is fantastic! Too bad I'm stuck at home for the day . . . :'(
The roads are already about free of sand / gravel up there? That's a couple weeks ahead of schedule. Hope I can get out for a late afternoon ride today.

Yup, free and clear of gravel.
Had an interesting ride home as well. Was pretty cold, until i got up over the black hawk-rollinsville hump, then hit a FRIDGED front of cold air. Mister yamaha liked it fine though (probably shrank the main jet down a tidge)
