I was worried that nothing could measure up to my
Baja trip from
18 months ago. Luckily, I was wrong -- this trip ruled. The plan was
to go take 6 days to get out to Broomfield, Colorado. My employer,
Sun, has an
office there full of co-workers that I needed to get together with
anyway. I'd work there for a week and then dash back the following
weekend. It was a heck of an adventure. The whole way I rode back-roads -- two-lane, undivided roads and unpaved dirt roads. I avoided divided highways and interstates because they're boring :-) On the way there I stopped at lots of national parks -- Zion, Grand Canyon, Bryce, and Capitol Reef. The way there was about 2000 miles, including 315 miles of unpaved roads. The way back was around 1300 miles, which I did in around 48 hours. Having just broken in my new Suzuki DL650 (whose purchase was motivated by this trip), I set off on July 6, 2004. Follow the links below for pictures and stories: |
