Day 9: Rest Day in Steamboat Springs

We woke to overcast skies this morning and received a little bit of rain in the early morning hours. The skies cleared at 9:00 AM and the day warmed to 80 degrees or so, then the clouds rolled in at 5:00 PM and it sprinkled for about 10 minutes and then was a beautiful evening.

Bill took Paul to the Denver airport, did some shopping for motorcycle tires, and picked up his father at the airport. The total trip took 10 hours! Thanks Bill!

Lance and Ed stayed at camp. Ed did laundry, cleaned his air filter, and checked his bike for loose bolts. Lance cleaned the air filter on his bike, cleaned the chains on all bikes, fixed the turn signals on Bill's bikes, and found and repaired a rear bearing problem on Ed's bike.

We enjoyed a nice dinner at The Laundry while officially welcoming Dennis to our adventure.

Tomorrow, we will be back on the bikes heading to Salida, CO.

Here are some pictures from the Steamboat Campground:

  1. I admire the three of you taking this adventure of a lifetime. And kudos to your support team. John and I camped near Salida one year, met a young couple with a 4-wheel drive who invited us to drive over the Continental Divide--which we did. Rocky and barren and there over the hill was a small cafe and we had blueberry pie and coffee.As I recall there were a couple other cabins unoccupied here in the middle of nowhere.
