What a day!!!

Can someone please help me find my ass...I think I lost it somewhere back in Leadville (on the second pass). Oh no...wait...oh yeah, there it is...still numb.

Even with the 2-hour'ish detour, I was still home after my appointed time. But, damn what a freakingly awesome day. Great friends...not so bad weather...amazing scenery...and lunch, er strike that, late lunch (early dinner) was worth it.








I didn't keep track of milage on my trip meter, but am guessing it was a total of 514 miles round-trip. Got a total of 10,347 miles on the Zed since getting it in late October with 2800 miles on it. Yep, it's still fun to ride.

You can't beat a ride, no matter how gruelingly long where there were no tickets, no crashes, and no blow-outs. Yeah baby!!!

I guess "dry" is all relative.

I remeasured it on my copy of Streets & Trips, it was 512mi door to door for me. Too bad we didn't document it, gotta be an aluminum butt award in there somewhere.

How about "numb butt"?

So, add the extra 40 some odd miles (both ways) for me coming from Loveland and it was over 550 miles for me. Heck, so for Sy coming from Greeley, it was close to 600.

Bunch'o motorcycle ridin' nuts!

Shannon actually got the entire mileage on her odometer. It was 4-something. But yeah, it was a lot. Good times.

I happen to like the longer rides and am thinking about the next one. Guess I'll have to get out the dartboard and map ...

Fixed that for some of us. Ow! Parked the bike in the garage and haven't even looked at it since.

For those of us coming from Aurora, my official mileage for the day was 461....those of you from the north were easily in the 500+ range.

Wow...I can't believe how pissed off I look in most of those pictures! Believe it or not, I actually did have a great time! Lots of firsts for me. Thank you again to all of those that had to put up with riding behind me, especially in the rain and/or on the pass. And thank you to Jason for putting this ride together. I may be sore and sunburnt but it was worth it!

Geesh! I've ridden to work both yesterday and today and plan on riding to Boston's tonight.

My Mexico trip was 8 days like Sunday. Good times!

I'm glad you had a good time. That's all it takes to make ya wanna ride more and more. You've got the right attitude, so you're on the right track.

I've been riding 3 years, as well, but without having to deal with a broken arm in between. I think you'll find yourself in front of groups as time and miles add up.

Oh and Jeff, I'm gonna do another long ride on Thursday, but North this time. Should be maybe around 400 miles...give or take.
