Yup, it works like that. Mine broke my leg in 3 places in 2012.

I'm in Carlsbad because my bro is going tourist on me. Yea, we actually did the whole cavern thing. Walked it!

Oh well. He's having a ball and I'm gonna get prime rib out of him tonight for slowing me down. :)

And, he gets no slack tomorrow. Packing the mule before sunup. And ain't wasting one second of the cooler morning temps. (brutal hot here now)
Breakfast at 2pm?

Day 5 and we reached Monument Valley today. Cortez tomorrow. The bike has been faultless and all is going according to plan. See you all soon.

103* at 5pm is brutal hot. The high in Ouray is mid to low 70's. 560 miles and you are there.

98% packed, getting ready to head out in the morning and meet the guys. ::26::

I was just playing with Basecamp to load the routes onto the Montana. I did create a new "sport" ride route, since South Fork is under evacuation orders :(

Marpquest works just like Google but will load turn by turn into the Montana directly.

You must have been only one of the handful I passed all day! I had the coals poured on the jeep-jeep west of Denver and she struggled.

You're already at the koa I thought? Was going to look for you after dinner to see about the banner and where we should hang it.

I'm right behind the restaurant if we can't find you on our walk...

If anyone needs to get in touch for anything, my number is 515-999-5277

Sorry to hear that Ryan. Hope you get the ankle attended to, and heal quickly without complications.

Great day from Amarillo to Manitou Springs. It really didn't get hot until Raton. We made it here so fast we went up Pikes Peak. Coaster and I both almost dropped out from the elevation. Great afternoon ride though. It's going to be a quick day through the mountains to Ouray.

So I thought to myself...... Why stop in Cortez (boring) when Durango (world class brew pub) is 45 miles away. Best Western tonight, then it's off to Ouray!
