Well gang, we have been here almost 2 weeks and have seen lots of weather extremes. We are either soaking from rain or sweat. I guess England is more of an average temperature country.

Done almost 3000 miles since the bike left home. had a day off the bike today. Seriously tired. In Colorado Springs now. Off around the rockies tomorrow.

Glad to hear your ride is going well Jan, keep it shiny side up

Thanks for the update. Glad to hear you're making out OK...but sorry to hear about the weather. I guess when you cover that many miles in a short time you are going to run into everything. Just watch out for the snow blizzards!

Enjoy the rest of your trip!

Toxic and Taildragger were AWESOME! They took us to a mining town where we played the slot machines. Cripple Creek.

They took us on a road that I hated. Along a ridge. Scary as.

Moving on tomorrow to Grand Junction.

[strykenshane]

You're gonna love Monument Valley, really gorgeous scenery coming in and leaving, make sure you have plenty of gas, not a lot of gas stations around there

Welcome from Orlando fl. It's rained everyday for like 2 weeks and there's at least 40% for the next 7 days

Have fun Jan!!! Hope you enjoy it all

Hey Jan- Great that you are enjoying yourself over here!

 

[Visionary]

Jan that is great! I lived in Colorado Springs for 10 years and I miss it terribly mostly because of the friends I left behind. The ride up to Cripple Creek is excellent. The ride to Grand Junction is even better, when they say purple mountains they mean it so be prepared with the camera to stop. Grand Junction itself though something to be desired, lol. I wish I was there. Make sure you hit up the bar called Cowboys in down town Colorado Springs. Added a couple pictures I took last year when I flew back to visit friends after 20 years.

 

[strykenshane]

That's some beautiful scenery

 

[strykerjan]

We did highway 128 and Dead Horse Point. Absolutely AWESOME!

Back home now. Missing USA already.

 

[dejablu110]

Awwwwwww.......well you made quite an impression here

 

[ironman1964]

Jan. glad you enjoyed the Colorado scenery. I have lived in Colorado my whole life, more north than where you were. The standard saying around here is if you don't like the weather wait 30 minutes.

 

[saclean]

We really enjoyed the post and videos you posted. i hope you will always have some great memories. 8)

Yeah, it looks like you had a good time in the U.S. I, too, have ridden the roads in Colorado although it was almost 40 years ago, but that is one experience you don't forget. I sure wish I could get my Stryker over to England and Scotland some day before it's too late. That is truly some beautiful countryside. May have to brush up on my English though.
