Getting the Word Out On Colorado Motorcycle Events"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.motorcyclecolorado.com\/BlogPix\/BlueKnights-022.jpg\" alt=\"Blue Knights compete\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It occurs to me that someone might be reading this blog and not know that it is, as the tagline says, &#8220;companion&#8221; to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.motorcyclecolorado.com\" target=\"_blank\" >motorcyclecolorado.com<\/a> website. And it&#8217;s also possible that someone might know that, but never have looked at the website to see what it offers.<\/p>\n<p>Now, as far as that goes, I&#8217;m only going to say that it features all the best motorcycle roads in Colorado. But it does more than that. It also lists some recommended motorcycle-friendly motels, hotels, B&#038;Bs, what have you. It lists dealers and repair shops. If offers riding stories telling of people&#8217;s adventures in Colorado on motorcycles.<\/p>\n<p>And it lists upcoming motorcycle events in Colorado. That&#8217;s what I want to talk about here.<\/p>\n<p>On the &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.motorcyclecolorado.com\/rides_and_rallies.htm\" target=\"_blank\" >Colorado Motorcycle Rides, Runs, and Rallies<\/a>&#8221; page I keep as current a list of upcoming events as I can. I may get a little behind in removing events that are past, and I know I don&#8217;t get everything listed, but I do what I can.<\/p>\n<p>So here&#8217;s my pitch. If you have an event coming up, take a look at the Rides and Rallies page and if you&#8217;re not already on there, send me the info and I&#8217;ll get it up. You can see what kind of information I present, so it&#8217;s especially nice if you send it to me in that format.<\/p>\n<p><strong>One important note:<\/strong> The website only features events in Colorado. Please don&#8217;t send me something that is not in Colorado.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to promote your event, having it listed here is a good move. It doesn&#8217;t cost anything and that particular page gets a lot of readership. In fact, it is always one of the top five pages on the entire site. Within the last year, it was visited 7,173 times.<\/p>\n<p>And I guess there&#8217;s no better time or place than right now to thank all of you who have already made it a point to notify me of your events. I do appreciate it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Recent from National Motorcycle Examiner<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.examiner.com\/motorcycles-in-national\/only-a-biker-knows-motorcycle-wit-and-wisdom-16\" target=\"_blank\">Only a biker knows . . .: Motorcycle wisdom, #16<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Biker Quote for Today<\/h3>\n<p>The letters &#8220;MC&#8221; are stamped on your driver&#8217;s license right next to your sex and height as if &#8220;motorcycle&#8221; was just another of your physical characteristics, or maybe a mental condition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It occurs to me that someone might be reading this blog and not know that it is, as the tagline says, &#8220;companion&#8221; to the motorcyclecolorado.com website.
