We ride out from out homes in WI and plan to camp as much as possible, riding
and staying at new parts of CO each night. We had 1 week.

Cody
Q-dog
We encountered heat, snow, wind and rain. I even
hit a deer and lived to talk about it. Q-dog became
quit ill, and unfortunately had to get to lower ground
about half way through the trip.
I met up with Cody in Salida for a few days and he
showed me some great trails.
I made it home Sun morn around 5 am just in time
to say Happy Father's day to my Dad before he
headed back home. (1200 miles in about 19hrs.
My longest non-stop ride ever)

Not much room to try and avoid this one. 40ft up, 40ft down, no guard rail. I had just enough time to
get the bike straight up after the turn. Skid marks are from me sliding with the deer wrapped up in my
front fender. Somehow I managed to ride it out, never went down.

Cody traveling light, Nice rack BTW.
Me, traveling to fit through the trails. Still
learning to pack lighter. I would guess I had
about 60lbs of gear on my rack, no problems.

Dead end!! Road not cleared with bulldozer yet.
Much easier going downhill on ice than back
up. I was just about to start hiking out with what
I needed to camp for the night.
Thankfully 2 ATVers came to winch me out,
another great use for the SW Mo-tech bars

Medano Pass- riding south to north, solo. Glad I did it
that way, Starting with the VERY deep sand is better
than ending with it when you are tired.
