Days 12 & 13, Sunday - Monday 6/29 & 6/30 - Final Entry

We loaded my bike back into the uhaul and left Tulsa about noon Sunday. We drove through the night and arrived in Alabama NY (Chris's) about 9:30 am Monday.  I got home about noon.

Overall mileage for the trip was much less than it would have been since many of the trans state miles were covered in a uhaul.  Colorado was spectacular and everyone had a blast with the jeeps in Canyonlands.

We had an adventure!

Day 11, Saturday 6/28, Montrose to Tulsa

We dragged our butts out of bed early to start the 830+ mile trip back to Tulsa. Temps were in the low 40's in the mountains. We had a great ride through southern Colorado, crossed briefly into New Mexico and east to Oklahoma.  We arrived very late into Tulsa to a meal prepared by Tonita and to collapse in soft beds.

Rain Gear in Bright Sunshine + 42F in Gunnison

Incredible Southern Colorado

Why is it always Harley riders that have the prettiest girls?

Rural Colorado - Ranch country

New Mexico

Lots of open space in western Oklahoma

Day 10, Friday 6/27, Telluride

Chris and I took an easy ride to Telluride to sample the local fare and purchase a couple souvenirs (shirts).  Clearly - there is plenty of $ in Telluride.  Lots of European SUV's and beautiful people dressed in the best athletic clothing money can buy. Even the Harleys were show quality. No rat bikes here.


Mother nature thought we needed the Telluride rinsed off and provided a quick/cool/intense downpour on the way down the mountain - and neither of us had rain gear with us on this short day ride. We were dry by the time we got back to Montrose.  Another great ride in colorful Colorado.

Main St Telluride = $$

The rain - we just passed through
