Today was a down day for me….. Denver sure is nice in the early morning, but I forgot how hot it can get so quickly. Man, by 10am it was getting on the warm side. We decided it would be fun to run into Evergreen for lunch and walk around so off we headed.
Coming into this sleepy little village…
We wound up starting the day with ice cream. Can’t say I’ve done that before. Then it was a walk around the town.
I thought the smiley face on the walk/don’t walk sign was kind of interesting and a bit on the funny side
This guy was in front of the coffee shop next to the ice cream shop
The dam at Lake Evergreen
…and the lake on the other side. Turns out this lake had some serious overflowing a few months ago with all the rain and then flooding which took out a part of the town
We wound up at the Little Bear Saloon. I had no idea how much history was in this little dive bar. There were marketing posters for a ton of big names who had played that venue.
While there gal behind the bar said “hey, want to try some bloody mary’s "no charge"? I think they’re too hot and I 'gotta get it right for customers today”. Sure! So it wasn’t even noon yet and a couple bloody mary’s were in front of us. “I like ‘em a bit hot like this” was my reply but my friend said “it’s too hot”. So the bar tender toned down the mix a bit and made a couple more and they were just right. We wandered around the bar a bit more then decide to go upstairs and people watch on the main drag and ordered yep, another one. That’s probably another first for me - ok it is – three bloody mary’s before 1pm.
First one, spicy and hot as she used Tabasco AND Siricha with a good dose of pepper
Then a couple more just to make sure the day’s recipe was ‘right’ for customers. It was.
The people watching was good. There’s a lot of riders that run through Evergreen. Bicycles and motorized versions of all varieties, mostly of the Harley type. But there were Beemers, Duc’s, Goldwings, Triumphs and a slew of dirt/off-road bikes in the mix.
The clouds were building on the hit or miss showers so we decided to beat-feet back to Denver and avoid I70 inbound traffic back to town. We found ourselves at yet another little dive biker bar called the Piper Inn and ate a late lunch before calling it a day.
Note the bloody mary specials on Sunday…. (no, it was beer and wings this time)
A quick dip in the pool to cool off, catch up on some laundry and ride reports/pic processing was about all the additional fun I could stand for the day.
Denver is nice, but wayyyy too many people/too much traffic for my tastes.
Tomorrow brings steak and eggs for breakfast along with a scenic (hopefully) trip to Fairplay CO to visit more friends for a few days.
Stay tuned. The inter-webs were good here but I have no idea what I’ll have the next few days.

Thank you for yet another great ride report Scott, and 'suggesting' that Ten Sleep should be added to the bucket list of riding destinations. Further fun and safe travels everyone.
