In Colorado, Black bear pass in the morning and Himogene in the snow in the afternoon. Topped off with a very wet and cold ride back in Gunnison. Some rides are a lot of pain and misery, but make for epic memories of a life lived to the fullest

Each time it was 75+ degrees or higher Farenheight with clear skies, and at the top 30 degrees, cloud covered with icy cold misty wind. I guess I'll just keep doing it until I get a clear day :-)

👍👍👍👍👍👍 And some words too : what did I want to say...??? 🤔🤔 Oh YE ☝☝😀😀 - I, offcourse, do understand why bikers have the huge side-boxes, and become as wide as a car, but - REALLY ?!? So many times I've oserved guys on bikes just like yours, and with luggage, just like yours - stand still in traffic jams - with all the cars - for hours.... So - if your bikes combined, use more fuel than an avarege car ( even a small 4x4 ), take place as a car, but still, have less space than a car for your things + the traction on bad roads is also far worse than of a car - why not to travel by a CAR ?!? - because you need the fear of falling, getting stuck, getting wet....? One thing is to trave relatively light - like that Dutch girl - ItchyBoots.... another - like you - BIIIIG bikes, BIIIIG side-boxes..... Where is the fun ? 🤔🤔
