Friday Steve left us to head home but not before having a flat tire in Cripple Creek. We got him back on the road and he made it back to Kansas City on Saturday. Frank, Bruce and I rode to the top of Pikes Peak. The traffic was terrible going up the mountain with the flat landers moving at about 10 mph. I had to stop a couple times to let my engine cool down and at one of the stops I tipped over when the road was cambered so much on a corner that I couldn't get up enough speed to get going. I broke a foot peg and scuffed up some trim but all and all the bike faired pretty well. After that excursion we headed to Durango and hit a lot of rain going over Wolf Creek Pass and again between Pagosa Springs and Durango. We arrived at the KOA around 10:00 pm.
Saturday we took a leisurely ride up to Silverton and back to Durango where we wandered around town checking out the saloons. We will head out in the morning back to our respective homes and loved ones.
For me it has been great spending time on the road with Steve in Oregon and all the other guys in Colorado.
