A while back one of my Stove Prairie neighbors, geezer Wes Rutt, hopped on his motorcycle with his intrepid wife Nicki seated behind and a camera  attached to his helmet. They rode the loop from Laporte, up Rist Canyon, down Stove Prairie Rd to Masonville, and back up along Horsetooth Reservoir to Bellvue. The resulting video includes a running commentary on the history of the area. Fun and fascinating to watch.

Part one (of three) of the history of Wes'  motorcycle adventures has been posted on the PAFC Graceful Aging series.
