This is my ride report of the 2016 Zion Super Tenere Rally.
If you went to the rally and let a little rain dampen your ride, You need to be riding with me.
I just had a fantastic time.
I only spent three nights and two days at the rally but them two days of riding we had great weather and seen a lot of pretty country.
I think it pretty much rained all night at the camp but I was sleeping anyway.
This report starts when five of us met up in Des Moines and headed west.
Big Bob was only riding with us for a wile, he was nursing riding wounds from another trip.
That left Corbin, Ken, Russ and me. All on Super Tenere's.
The first day we rode to Colorado and found a mountain road to go up for a remote camp that night.
The next morning we would ride the Old Fall River Road up to the top of Rocky Mt. National Park.
While in Colorado I can't resist exploring under ground.
We was going to try riding over Mosquito Pass so we headed that way.
When we got to the first rocky up hill I went for it first.
Well if I'm going to show downed bikes in this report I have to start with mine since I was the first one to drop a bike.
This would be the only time I dropped mine on this trip, except when my side stand busted through the ground into a goffer hole and it fell over.
Russ was the only other one to try this hill, so he took off his load and he made it to the top and just had to come back down. [Great riding on stock tires ]
That night we just went up a remote trail and found a place to camp.
