Welcome aboard from NH. Good luck on your build. I have half a dozen projects bikes I'm working on bringing back to life.
I lived a couple of summers up in Breckenridge in 1979 and 80 building ski homes. I rode my K6 all over Colorado on weekends that 1st summer, I left right about this same week of December on it when the temperature got back up around 40 degrees after it had been as low as 42 below 0 for a stretch and I didn't get back until May.
The picture is in May when I stopped by a friend's house in Goldhill having returned from Daytona with my traveling companion hound on the back seat. I spent a week with them letting the 6" snow melt some that happened the night I got there after riding in freezing rain up the dirt roads from Boulder. I had to rebuild a caliper that froze up when I parked from riding in the mud that night. It was an adventure that I won't forget.
