Monday

We all gathered for breakfast at a Denny's in Grand Junction. Afterward we took I-70 West getting off onto Hwy. 128 in Utah that took us along the Colorado River and into Moab. Clay and I split off from the group and rode home down through Monument Valley again. The rest did more excursions around Moab and then worked their way back to Grand Junction ready for more riding tomorrow.

I put 1,557 miles on my bike during the past 4 days and had a great time meeting and chatting with everyone. Darby and Alice were great hosts and Darby's skills with his smoker cooking ribs and brisket was excellent. 

Clay and I waiting for the rest to catch up after we did a spirited ride along the Colorado River.

Sunday's ride

We met at Darby's in the morning and rode to Delta for breakfast. Afterward we went to the Blue Mesa Reservoir and went North on Hwy. 92 which took us to an overlook of the Black Canyon of the Gunnison. We then continued on to Paonia and took Hwy 133 East over McClure Pass and on to Glenwood Springs where we had lunch. We caught I-70 and headed West getting off onto Hwy 65 that took us over the Grand Mesa and back to Delta. We then gathered back at Darby's for some visiting and finally we all headed back to our respective motels.
