Day 5&6, Sunday-Monday, 6/22&23, Colorado Springs-Denver-Montrose

Sunday we rode up highway 25 to Denver so members of the team could see friends. Traffic was heavy and not much fun.

Monday we rode from Denver to Montrose via Fairplay.  This was the Colorado I remember.

Upper 50's in Fairplay, low 80's in Montrose, quite the range of temps.  To get to Fairplay you climb the front range and top out around 9000' on a broad windswept plateau surrounded by snow capped peaks.  There are more horses and beef cattle than people.

On our way up
The high plains near Fairplay, ~9000ft above sea level

We've been bustin' on Chris for riding a Harley since his Triumph tranny failed.  He found a real dinosaur to match his ride.

Neida, Lupe & Lore at Monarch Pass - Lore rides the Can-Am - really fast




Yours Truly at Monarch Pass
Between Gunnison & Montrose - incredible
