Colorado ride report with pics (S related of course)
Well... headed out Saturday morning for Durango.... did a rideabout Sunday and came back to Phoenix alone on Monday.
I'll just post pics and you can comment as you wish. BTW - A gray S passed me on the side of the road just 15 miles outside of Durango Saturday late afternoon. Anyone from the board?

I love Durango. Haven't been out there in years. Awesome pics. I should probably get divorced so I can do more long trips.

Very cool Shannon
 Seeing that blue sky sure reminds me I'm glad it's Summer! (Sorry Aussies! The clock will start ticking in your favor as of Monday though!) BTW, nice subject framing. Hope to do a similar report in a few weeks with the "ride the ridge rally" in NC. Maybe Paris Hilton will be there or summ'in! (didn't mean to go there )

Beautiful shots! Shannon, what brand tank bag are you running? Keep the travelog coming. Us flatlanders miss the tall timber and properly maintained dirt roads (and public land for that fact.)

Thanks for the pics. I am leaving July 3 for my three week western tour and your post is exactly what I needed to see today. What is the wild fire situation going up to Alpine on 191?

I showed my wife these pics and she is eager to get started on our trip to Banff. We did Colorado and Utah last September and she loved every minute and now she can't wait to go again. We are taking a long weekend and riding up the Mississippi River to St Croix Falls then to northern Wisconsin and back home. Just a little trip to wet our appetite and get ready for the big trip. I hope we run into some of you for a little visit and a beer.
Shannon, thanks for the wonderful picture. Philip |
