[the Ferret]

Morning fellas...

Flyn...we crossed the CD twice yesterday once in RMNP and once thru Berthoud Pass.

To give you guys an idea of what elevation does to temp, yesterday it was 100 f in Denver and 43f in Berthoud Pass..

Here the smell of Ponderosa Pine is encompassing as you ride thru the near Alpine forested roads. Road surfaces have been very good. We ran into some resurfacing yesterday but not much. In the more touristy spots traffic moves but it moves slowly. So many people in RMNP and in Estes. It's summer tourist season.

Stichill 40 was a blast and we ran it pretty good Trying to avoid a late afternoon shower that was coming in over the mountains. Apparently afternoon rains are common as the atmosphere charges up from the heating of the day meeting the cool mountain air. LR and Offroad are finding great delight in discussing the scientific reason for all this. I am pretty much out of that conversation once you get past " it's going to rain" lol

Cormanus I will figure out something for pictures eventually
