Earache

End of the race buffet was pretty good - all sorts of good food ...

Fellow Marshals Chris and Jared taking a break...........

I just love riding in the desert ...

75 miles into the ride and we're in the high desert. All was going well when this guy's front wheel got tangled into the back wheel of the bike ahead of him. Apparently Lycra doesn't do shit for avoiding road rash . I radio'd for an ambulance and my bud Chris set the bikes up as a traffic barrier ...

Dunno why anyone would wanna ride up a mountain ,,,

6:45 and the riders appear....

Got to bed around 11:00 PM and had to get up at 4:00 AM to cover the last 75 miles to Telluride for the start of the race. Got there at sun up and walking around the empty streets waiting on the racers to show up ....

Made it to Monrose just after dark and proceeded to the local Mexican joint for dinner and beers. It was as bad as it looks. Should cheese have wrinkles in it?

Had a cold drink and hung out at the fly fishing store for a bit. Nice breeze sitting on their porch ....

Met up with fellow marshal, Logan at Fairplay, CO and headed further south towards Taylor Resevoir ...

The ride south was nice with crisp air and the changing colors on the trees - it'll be winter in a week.....

Headed out to Montrose, Colorado and then on to Telluride to Moto Marshal another bicycle race. Had to wait at home for the temps to rise a bit before setting out. 42F / 5c before setting out...

Still, thats about $500 in cost. $1,700 is still a rip.

HBD!

$1,700.00 For one day bike rental and 2 nights lodging? If anyone wants to do this, I'll guide ya free of charge. Bike rental would be around $125 for one day.

In most areas, I don't care about riding at night. But in my home area, there's just too many animals out in the dark to safely ride the curves and hills in the county. Don't wanna hit a moose or elk on a bike as that'd hurt quite a bit. Hit a moose with my truck once and it really fucked the truck up - would have been fatal to me on a bike.

Where is it?

Cool pics, Pedro!

Lefty people in the US have lost their shit. Bit of a stretch methinks....

Last night's snow total. Didn't get squat and it's kinda grainy. Not quite hail but not flakey, either. . Too cloudy to see much at the higher elevations but heard they got some more . Riding season is at it's end soon....

Nah - that'd never sell at an American truck stop. Too gay for even Starfucks to sell.

Check them out here: https://www.shelbyamericancollection.org/ Has really cool displays with moulds used in the engine and parts casting process along with loads of cars. Never saw one running though.

I bought one of these a few years ago - huge time saver. Am amazed at how many times I've used it.

There;s a museum in town full of the real ones - all sorts of cool crap in there. I have some pics of it around here someplace. They have lots of tee shirts for sale - gimme your size and addresss in a PM and I'll get ya one.... edit: added some pics

Thank fuckin' Christ for that!
