Day 2 HOG Touring Rally Gunnison, CO

After yesterday's sites and ride I figured it was down hill from there. However, today new roads and new sites that did not disappoint! Around every corner was another jaw dropping wow of a site. I stopped so many times, which was more of a pain today, because it was cooler. I started off in Denver at 61° and got into the mountains and the same 61° had me shaking. I only had on a long sleeve shirt, vest, and jeans accompanied by my mesh armor jacket and that was not enough anymore. I added a neck gator, leather jacket, insulated chaps, and cold weather gloves. I was perfect after this, until, as mentioned above, all the stops. With every stop the helmet and gloves came off, and most of the time this was fine, other times I quickly started to sweat. But I couldn't take any of it off because as soon as I started moving, I was cool again.


The trees were amazing, some had already lost the leaves, others in full color, and some still green. Was very interesting to see all together.

I even got to cross over the Arkansas River a couple of times!

Much smaller here!

Was a very awesome day and really looking forward to tomorrow. I have to also mention, being in Colorado with no snow is very odd. I have only been when there is snow everywhere, so like most I'm sure, that is what I associate with Colorado. I did see my first snow siting, but it was while I was riding and by the time I could pull over I could no longer see it.

Only animal I've seen other than birds...
