Greetings Riders,
It looks like our extended summer is still hanging on for a while which is making for
some good rides outside of the Valley and into the evenings. Thanks
to all of the riders that made it to the Kansas concert last Friday night. It was a beautiful night and the bands
were really good. Here is a brief video
clip and some pictures.
Several of you have been asking about the Cyclerides.com Toys To Kids Ride. I have been working
with the City of Glendale for permits, etc. and it is close to being finalized. The
date for the ride is Saturday, December 1st. We will meet and stage in Downtown Glendale at Murphy Park for coffee,
donuts, entertainment, etc. I am even talking to the Downtown merchants to get involved as well with possibly a
free walking poker run through the antique shops of Glendale for some prizes donated by the merchants. We will
then take a short escorted ride West to Westgate City Center where they are doing a $400,000 Christmas decoration
project. A stage will be set up in the Dancing Fountains Plaza on Coyote Blvd. where we will have over 100
children from the Pappas Schools bussed in and waiting for us to arrive with the toys. Once everyone arrives, there
will be live entertainment for the kids and riders. After 30 minutes of entertainment, the kids will all be
allowed to go get any 3 toys they desire out of the huge stack. It is a wonderful site to see. Some of them last
year told me that was the only gift they would get for Christmas. Last year we took the leftover toys to the shelters
around town. These were bagged and left outside the kids apartments on Christmas Eve. Some did awake to toys outside
their doors. Thanks to all of you! Sign in from 8am - 11am. Ride leaves at 11am. If you have not been on a
Cyclerides.com Toys To Kids Ride come with us this year, it is really special, Click Here for the video
of last year. Click

Colorado Trip 2007 - Day 6 (1/2 of the Day)
I am happy to be back writing about our ride through Colorado. After 5 days
on the road through some fantastic scenery we had separated ourselves from the rest of the world and were
firmly entrenched into the routine of "Ride, Eat, Sleep and Repeat". We
awoke this morning to beautiful blue skies overlooking Dillon Lake in Dillon, CO.
Our goal this day was to backtrack a few miles through the Eisenhower Tunnel to Hwy. 6 across Loveland
Pass at 11,990 ft., the first of 4 passes that we would
travel that day. Hwy. 6 takes you over Loveland Pass and by the Keystone Ski Resort back to Dillon. This was
a really nice 42 mile loop and well worth the detour off of the beaten path. From there we followed I-70
for 35 miles past Copper Mountain and Vail on our way to Hwy. 24 that would take us South to historic Leadville,
which also happens to be the highest city in the United States with an elevation of 10,430 feet.
Almost always on these trips, there is a surprise portion that exceeds your expectations,
and for us it was this day. I wasn't sure about taking Hwy. 24 until
Councilman Lieberman of Glendale suggested that it would be a great ride. He was absolutely right. As it turns
out, this road is the "Top of the Rockies" Scenic Byway
that takes you through some great scenery and old historic mining towns. About 10 miles South of
I-70 you will round a corner and see this bridge. If you didn't
know before you go, you would miss the fact that there is a very cool little mining town named Red Cliff at 8600 feet stuck
back in the canyon that you should go
see. Take the turn left, right before the bridge and ride down to the town and take the road back under the
bridge. This is a cool little historic
town to see along the way. This Picture I took while
riding down a side street will give you a good feel of the laid back nature of this place. Even
the Chipmunks are easy going.
Another 12 miles South you will ride across Tennessee Pass at 10,424 feet. This is also the point of a WWII Memorial that you can stop to see. In just
9 more miles you will come into the old 1870's Gold and Silver mining town of Leadville. Also known as
the highest city in America. Leadville boomed in 1860 when Abe Lee discovered Gold in the California Gulch which
brought in prospectors by the thousands ready to find their fortunes. Although it only lasted about 6 years, it
was replaced in 1877 with one of the richest and most famous silver districts the world has ever seen. By 1880
Leadville had over 30,000 residents, innumerable stores, hotels, boarding houses and, of course, over 100 saloons,
dance halls, gambling joints and brothels. Leadville produced seven hundred million dollars of the precious metal!
It was here that Horace Tabor made his fortune. But in 1893, all good things came to
an end. The repeal of the Sherman Silver Purchase Act changed the backing
of our currency from silver to gold, plummeting the price of silver overnight and spelling ruin for Horace Tabor
and many others. While these people were industrious, they spent money as fast as they could make it, never
imagining that the income would end. It was reported that Horace Tabor once spent $15,000 on a silver laced
christening gown for his daughter in the late 1800's while the workers in his mine were making $3.00 per day.
When you sit down and read the history of this town, it is filled with compelling
stories of real people who made, and lost, fortunes in this frontier
mountain town laced with Victorian architecture. People with names you would recognize include Carnegie, Guggenheim,
Susan B. Anthony, the "Unsinkable" Molly Brown, Doc Holliday, Oscar Wilde, Soapy Smith and Horace and
Baby Doe Tabor, are just a few of the many who fill Leadville's past. If you get a chance, follow some of the links
below to read up on the history of this area.
Another aspect of the town that is amazing is the amount of 19th century buildings and houses that are still standing
and in use. Leadville has preserved an astounding amount of its history.
Leadville is a National Historic Landmark District encompassing over 70 square blocks of Victorian Architecture,
over fifty 19th century buildings, a 20 square mile historic mining district, a historic railroad and
more museums than any town in Colorado. Most of the buildings were built between 1880 and 1905. Leadville
is a very interesting town full of more history than any other that we saw along the way. Maybe one of the most
amazing points is that it has survived all of these years and is still a thriving town of 2700 people.
Another interesting stop in Leadville about a mile outside of town is the Matchless
Mine, owned by Horace and "Baby Doe" Tabor. These are 2 names that are of the most famous in Colorado mining history. You take a short
walking tour of the mine that shows
how mining was done in the 1800's and tells the story of Horace and Baby Doe Tabor's rise to riches and worldwide
fame, to going completely broke and losing everything after the Sherman Act and ultimately working for the same
$3.00 per day in the same mine that he once owned.
This is a truly fascinating area that would take way too long to describe in this letter,
but was one of our favorite stops along the way. You can easily spend
most of a day here to see it all. But for us, this was only half of our day and we were on our way to Twin Lakes,
The Independence Pass, Aspen and over the hill to spend the night in the Historic Redstone Inn. I will be back
with that story and photos next week.
For those of you that like history, I would encourage you to visit Leadville and read some of the links below about the boom times of Leadville and the mining
history. The ride on the "Top of the Rockies Byway" is also excellent and very enjoyable.
I have included 124 interesting pictures from this portion of the ride on Day 6.

3rd Annual
Shriner's "We Ride So Kids Can Walk". Personal Note from Barry. Not many charities do we get the opportunity to see where the money is going and
how it is spent. I was invited to visit one of the Shriner Clinics about a month ago in Phoenix and was
amazed and humbled by what this organization does for kids, ALL at their own expense which comes from what
they raise at various fund raisers like this one. These kids with pediatric disorders including problems
with bones, joints, muscles, orthopedic deformities, etc. are diagnosed at a local clinic and then flown to
one of the 22 Shriner's hospitals for treatment, at no cost to the family. I walked away with a whole new
admiration of the guys with the oversized funny hats and the undersized bicycles. I would highly encourage supporting
this event. Click
Here to learn more about the Shriners and their purpose.
The run on November 3rd Shriner's"We ride so kids can walk" is growing. We have 50 vendor spaces
filled up and identifying more space for additional vendors that are calling. Johnny Cash, Elvis, and some other
singers will be there for entertainment. Food, Beer Garden, over $60,000.00 in door prizes and silent auction items.
Cost is only $15.00 for the ride. $15.00 gets you chances at many door prizes, a pin, patch and raffle ticket for
the Grand Prize. Grand Prize is 08 Dyna Fat Bob or Custom Softtail or $15,000.00. Your choice. Its not a poker
run, its a sponsor recognition run. Visit as many stops that are on the run guide. The more stops you visit, the
more chances you get for door prizes. See web site; www.el-zaribah.org/mcrun.htm
