This ride is over.

I thought this trip was over. it's not. My easy flight home from Denver has turned into yet another saga. coming into Atlanta there were severe storms over the airport. we circled until the plane was low on fuel, then diverted to Birmingham, Alabama, to refuel. by the time we returned to Atlanta, it was quite late. arriving at the hotel. the restaurants were closed. I did manage to scam a rubbery crab. patty, but I basically drank my dinner at the bar. frustrated, and hungry, I finally decided to venture down to a gas station through the hood, the kind of neighborhood where you keep your money in your sock, to find some trail mix to eat. My luggage has already beat me to Asheville on an earlier flight. I missed that flight and will hopefully fly out in the morning. it's all about adventure isn't it?

America.Rides.Maps is stopped.

we have arrived at the Cambria Hotel in Denver. The writing is done. we've unpacked all the bikes, I've helped remove all the added equipment, and help those who needed repairs. get on the road. now. we await for Scott Lee from Colorado motorcycle adventures to arrive and treat us to dinner. it's over

we're making good time more or less. I rode the little bike over monarch Pass, it was no problem at all. now on the other side, we're looking at some rain showers around us. we've stopped in Buena Vista to return the rental bike, and then I believe we're headed on to Salida and possibly lunch there.

okay my turn on the 500 I get the mountain pass. Good deal. let's see. I much I can squeeze out of this little bike.

we are coming across 50 coming up to Gunnison and we are waiting for traffic stop. this may go on for a while on and off all day, apparently there's a decent amount of construction going on along here. still. it's a nice chance to stop and admire the scenery.

So we've got all the tires aired up. the street pressures and we are about ready to depart. So begins to slog first to Buena Vista to return the bike we loaned and then head on to Denver.

arrived duray. A really good day. everybody seems quite happy.
