Ash and I did our enhanced version of the classic “Alpine Loop” between Silverton and Lake City, CO today. At the first fork in the road we goofed and took the extreme roads through Corkscrew Gulch then got lost on more side trails. We had to backtrack but got on the right route. We completed the top of the loop in perfect time for early lunch Lake City, then came down off the bottom leg as rain moved in to Silverton. The BMW 1200 GSA tractored through it all with ease. everytime I take this bike off road it delivers. 

Back to Ouray safe and mostly sound. The rain was coming down by the time we reached Silverton, rode half way back in it then it cleared and got sunny by Ouray. Heck of a ride. 

Made it across the top pass to Lake City. Got wicked lost for more than an hour. Corkscrew Gulch was quite a wake up. Now grabbing early lunch.
