Hey, new to your site,but been riding almost 45 years. I think I'm blessed, living in the heart of one of the country's leading local food systems, with some of the sweetest riding in the state, maybe country. Way down in Athens County, that's where I'm at. Home of Jackie O's Brewery, Little Fish Brewery, and Devil's Kettle. We also have some great wineries, and outstanding restaurants in the area. The focus around here is to keep it local. Just want to invite any of you coming out to ride the Triple Nickel, to stop by the Triple Nickel Diner. Great local food, great folks, and the food's too cheap! If you want a tour of any of the breweries, wineries, organic farms, or food/agriculture related businesses, contact us ahead of time, ask for Bob, and we can arrange that. We can also hook you up with cabin rentals and B&B's. Thanks

The restaurant’s name: Shooters Grill, located in the gun-friendly town of Rifle. Waitress Ashlee Saenz serves customers with a loaded Ruger .357 Blackhawk handgun holstered to her leg, Old West-style,and she knows how to use it, she told the Post Independent. “Guns are welcome on premises,” a sign on Shooter’s front door says. “Please keep all weapons holstered, unless the need arises. In such cases, judicious marksmanship is appreciated.” Shooters owner Lauren Boebert called herself a strong supporter of the Second Amendment. “We encourage it, and the customers love that they can come here and express their rights,” Boebert told the Post. “This country was founded on our freedom. People can come in carrying their gun, and they can pray over their food.” News anchor scolded by co-host for turning into a horn dog on-air over colleague’s bikini Boebert and her husband, Jayson, opened the Western-themed restaurant a little more than a year ago. Its menu features American and Mexican food. Alcohol is not in the offing, and the décor and philosophy reflect Boebert’s strong faith.. “I consulted with my Christian friends, and everyone said ‘Shooters’ sounded like a bar or a strip joint,” she said. “But I thought, this is Rifle — it was founded around guns and the Old West. We called it Shooters and started throwing guns and Jesus all over the place.” The restaurant offers training classes every other month so participants can qualify for a concealed carry permit in Colorado and Utah. The sessions even include dinner. In a town with a low crime rate, Police Chief John Dyer told the Post he likes Shooters’ business model. “If it was a bar, I might be saying something different. But I have no problem with it,” he said. “And besides, they make a really good burger.” From left, Shooters staffers Ashlee Saenz, owner Lauren Boebert, Jessie Spaulding and Dusty Sheets stand in front of the business in their work attire.
