I pulled out of Rifle, CO this morning under clear skies and cool temperatures. It was a nice ride on I-70 through tunnels and along the river with lots of green mountains. I stopped at one of the rest stops and made myself a morning cup of coffee. The joys of no schedule. I continued on and got off the interstate at Frisco and rode through there and Breckenridge finally stopping in Fairplay at the Colorado Mountain Hat company. The owner is a vendor at Winter Range whom I've known for years. We chatted for awhile and then I had a great burger and cold beer next door. I then turned East on highway 285 and stopped at the family cabin in Grant just for a quick look see. I continued on and got off the main road and took some nice twisty black tops into Colorado Springs. From there I continued to Limon, CO where I had a room reserved and met up with a fellow BMW K1600 rider who was going the other way. We had a nice chat at supper and now it's time to wrap up the day.
You don't want to get lost around here and have to call for help and explain where you are.
I'm taking my coffee break, shown below, at this location.
"The cabin" in Grant
So here I am rolling down the highway and my phone rings. It's not a voice call or a text message it's a Face time call from Blake. So we are chatting to each other with live video and audio. Blake took this snap shot that shows each of us while we were talking. High tech at its best ( or worse depending on your thoughts about this kind of thing) I was on an open stretch of road and could see the road clearly.
Done for the day. One bike from Arizona and the other from Connecticut.
