Labor Day Loop

waterman · 09-08-2009, 02:33 PM

Went to a friends house (Mal & Vette) in Silt, CO for the weekend. They were hosting a ride on Sunday with plenty of food on Saturday also. Very fun ride over McClure Pass and the Grand Mesa.

Just up the road from Glenwood Springs.

On McClure Pass.

Waterfall on McClure Pass with a group picture.

Looking south off of the Grand Mesa.

Looking North on the Grand Mesa.

On top of the Grand Mesa

Had a grand ol' time with many friends and some new ones. Daryl (audio) was there along with Trev & Jill, Scott & Vicki, Jamey, Austin and our gracious hosts Joe and Yvette.

Did have one small incident.

As we made a uturn off the road to a parking area, Scott just about ran into the fence, I saw it and said don't do that but the magnetic force from the fence was to great. CRAP. Worst part of the trip was riding home and getting past the tunnel on I-70. Traffic was at a crawl and it took us almost 2 hours to go 18 miles.
