Thanks Manny and Steve for organizing a great Montrose Rally.  Food and refreshments were outstanding.  Great to see all that attended and meet a few new ones besides.

Weather was pretty good with just enough rain coming and going to make it interesting.

If anyone is thinking about the Beartooth Rendezvous, let me know, I'll probably head up Wednesday August 12th, today is the last day for the cheaper registration and to order shirts.

Thanks to Manny and Steve for getting this setup during the confusion that seems to reign this year.

After riding nearly nothing in 2019, I did 1169.2 miles between Friday and Monday. 
Bullet Bob led Jake and I down on Friday over Independence pass. 
Saturday was E-Steve, Jim B, Adam and I going to Telluride, Delorise, Durango and up the Million Dollar Highway. I found an interesting route through the back alleys of Durango to get us to lunch. A coffee table book of the route will be available soon from Van Delay publishing.
Iron Butt Steve, aka local Steve, went with Jim B., Jake and I Sunday to Lake City via Blue Mesa (the dirt road is in good condition and the Trophy handled it with complete aplomb). 
Today, Monday, I followed Jim B over Cottonwood Pass (mostly clean roads, a bit of gravel in some corners) to Buena Vista where we parted ways.

I look forward to next year. Manny, if you need assistance, just ask!

Jim

All credit for the event goes to Manny, I just picked up the pizzas. That said, thanks for another great weekend Manny and everyone who was able to attend. I missed many of our other friends but considering the circumstances it’s completely understandable. I look forward to a better 2021.

Hello all!

I was sorry to see the lot of you only Friday and Saturday evenings, but I look forward to seeing you more, even if only through zoom! Sean and I missed riding with y'all, and were sorry to have not had an experience like Jim described so eloquently! Do let us know when that travelog book of yours is coming out!! I must admit I do not regret beating the heat on Sunday and literally taking a nap on the top of Grand Mesa after a gloriously locally catered repast (Wagon Wheel in Mesa).
Sorry to have missed time with Iron Butt and Annette - I wish I could predict when I will be that way again!

Fist bumps across the miles,
Sara and Sean
