So I took off this week and had originally planned to go back to Tennessee and NC but the hurricane put the kibosh on that.
Then I thought, "I should go see The Big Bend once and for all, but its going to be wet all week too. Chief Joseph and Beartooth are just too far for me to do in a week...
So I said to myself, 'self, you know you love Colorado...go see some more of it, and even re-ride some roads you know."
Based on an article I read a while back, I decided not to have an itinerary and no reservations. I leave each morning with an idea of where I want to go and I don't make a hotel reservation until late in the day.
Saturday morning I loaded up the bike and got all my gear on....dead battery...didn't get out of the garage. So I went and picked one up and 90 minutes later I was on the road.
I went up old 287 out of Decatur, TX and about an hour south of Amarillo, in Clarendon TX I reserved a room in Amarillo
Got up this morning and lit out for Raton, NM and points north, via 87, 64 and I25
While eating lunch in Raton, I reserved a room in Pueblo and here I am. Full of Mexican food and watching football.
Tomorrow I plan to go to Pike's Peak, Canon City and finish up in Gunnison...but that's just an outline. We'll see how it goes
