Ride Description  

Ok the ride started today,we left the Canadian border at 8:30 am after taking a few pictures. The route headed through some farms and started through the mountains towards Glaser National park. The scenery was spectacular. After about 100miles of forest and mountains we came back towards the towns for gas. It was hot so we headed back into the mountains to find a cool stop for lunch.
Maybe we were riding a little hot through some farm communities as a sheriff pulled us over. He had gotten a complaint that we were riding 4 abreast. Some of us were going pretty fast, that may have something to do with it. Others argue that there was a BMW doing wheelies down the road that was the problem. I don't think that was the problem myself. But, anyway he let us off with just a warning.
So in no time we were into the next county and enjoying ourselves again. Near the end of our day we found the route was closed to motorcycles. So for the last 25 miles we took the highway. The day was a total of 240 miles about 60 was on back pavement roads. The rest was dirt! We rode about 10 hours.
