Let it Rain! - Colorado

Well, we had some of the most spectacular riding yesterday through Utah and Monument Valley. The pictures really don't do justice to the majesty and serenity of riding through those massive canyons and seeing all the "monuments" scattered across the valley floor. Many parts of the road were alongside the San Juan River with these huge canyon walls surrounding us - it was breathtaking!

Well.............that all ended after we crossed over into Colorado! What was supposed to be our easiest part of the day - blasting down the I-70 to Fernando' brother's house turned out to be a wet n wild experience! As we approached the summit of 10,000 feet, we started getting pelted with big chunks of icy hale.........and we were still wearing t-shirts coming off the heat of Utah!!


We got a steady flow of rain all the way to our destination in South Denver. This was coupled with a accident that blocked 2 lanes that we had to wait for and then a little further down a tourist bicycle fell off the back of his car and blocked traffic as well!


My bike has a CB radio. SO it was fun talking to the truckers and getting info as to what was goin on ahead of us..........that helped us, for example, to change lanes to the right after I was told that the left lanes were blocked.


Fernando gets his first expeience ridin in the rain! Mark struggles to put his "farmer john" rainsuit on.
