heading home tomorrow.  Nice vacation and missed the 100 degree weather. 

last night I saw Tedeschi Trucks at Red Rocks

and today I rode the Greenie up Guanella Pass to Georgetown.  Just enough rain to keep it cool, make it interesting and no need to complain about traffic holding me up.

I hope to post some photos when I get back to the flatlands.

I'd like to try Guanella Pass, sometime.  MileHighGuzzi was telling me about it, back in June 2015.

Guanella Pass is a lovely ride. Here's the F650 at the top last fall.





This was the day the regulator went bad and boiled the battery dry. I coasted all the way to Georgetown!

Guanella Pass is a nice ride (look out for the LEOs).  Quite a bit of traffic on Sunday though. 

Hwy 285 from Fairplay to Denver is a Death Cult.

Great shot, John!

Thanks Seth.  Back home now.  It was nice to meet you and to say hello to Scott again. 

Hope to be back next year.   :thumb:

I keep trying.  My t-shirts aren't so tight and I'm moving down to "L".  I gained some back with the travels but back to the gym tomorrow.

Thanks Dusty.   :grin:
