Each year we make several 'bike' trips (rides on motorcycles).
One of our favorites is a Fall trip on the Durango Loop.
250 miles of incredible scenery!
This year we started in Cortez, Colorado on Sept 29th.
The next few pictures catalogue an amazingly picturesque view
of the fiery colors nature produces this time of year!!
Isn't this gorgeous!!
That's our good friends in front of us, closest is Bud & Beth,
and in front of them, Dick & Terri.
The camera hardly does the colors justice!
The orange trees directly ahead of us jumped
out like fiery darts from heaven!
Beauty and the Beast!
We are approaching a fun little community set in
mountains of Colorado - Silverton. We have
talked many times on this trip that we would love to
have a place here, or another small town you will see below.
One of our traditions in Silverton is to get a funnel cake for lunch (chili, cheese and the works)and a sugar and cinnamon funnel cake for dessert.
Gliding along the winding highways. This time Dick & Terri are directly
ahead of us on their Gold Wing (I call it a car on 2 wheels)
and Bud & Beth farther ahead on their Harley
(which I jokingly call the bucket of bolts).
This is Ouray! We love it! Is that Pig Latin for Rou??
Anyway, this little town is gorgeous.
It's a quaint place that calls out our names as we pass through!
I hope to return for many years to come!!!
We finish the ride going through Telluride, Durango and back to Cortez.Telluride is a fun place to stop and shop. It's certainly touristy which
the women love. Neat shops with antiques, leather clothes and trinkets of all kinds!
The guys head over to an ice cream shop tucked neatly below a restroom!
Can't wait 'til next year!!
