[the Ferret]

Twas a Harley Cormanus. We had him surrounded. We parked in front of a " bike bar" called the Buffalo Rose, and walked across the street to a really nice restaurant the Old Capital Grill.

Today was a short day, and what we referred to as a "canyon day". No continental divide passes today just up and down various canyons. We rode Clearcreek Canyon, Mt Vernon Canyon, Cole Creek Canyon, Golden Gate Canyon, and Bear Creek Canyon. We did ride up Lookout Mountain, rode a new section of the Peak to Peak Hwy, visited rhe Thunder Valley MX Track ( boy that brought back memories) and toured the Red Rock Amphitheater (you should google that Cormanus..it was really cool. I saw Joe Bonomassa play there on PBS TV.) Oh and we had lunch in Golden as seen above. Anyhow about 8 hours out today buy only 141 miles ridden.

So the 5 days we have ridden with LR we rode 1243 miles. Offroad and I did another 164 riding up to Nebraska and back on the way down here for 1407 miles and I rode 254 getting to Offroads making it 1661 and then I have to get home from Offroads once we get back so another 254 there for a grand total of 1915 miles for the 9 days. OH and about 2200 in the car coming and going lol, making total miles for the trip in the neighborhood of 4000 miles. Was it worth it? Every mile brother, every mile. What a great trip!
