A couples journey on 2 wheels

Monthly Archives: May 2017

The forecast predicted snow all day again today so we weren’t in a rush to get up. Having said that, we were supposed to move room before 10:00 so I got up to speak to the front desk who then told us we could stay. Bonus! Better news yet, the […]

As the forecast had predicted, it snowed all night and was to continue to snow all day. When we got up around 0800 there was already about 30cms of snow on the ground and it was coming down in large flakes. The horses were fine under the roof of the […]

We enjoyed one last breakfast at Tim and Anne’s house before it was time to go. We hit the road, back through Jamestown to get to the Canyon Rd to Estes Park, a small mountain town at the entrance to Rocky Mountain NP. The weather started sunny and beautiful, but […]

11,000kms… we have done over 11,000 Kms since leaving Florida on March 29th and it’s time for the machines to get serviced. Zoe has some friends in Boulder whom we planned to visit and the timing couldn’t have been better. Boxes of parts were waiting for us and so was […]

Day 46 to 49, Boulder CO (maintenance pit stop)

May 18, 2017 in Uncategorized by 2advriders

It was a cold night at 10,800feet (see my lambswool) so we were glad we had gotten a cheap motel room. Packed our bikes up, an easy job as we had hardly unpacked, and headed to ‘Cookies with Altitude’ in town for a breakfast wrap and a green smoothie. After […]

We woke up to beautiful sunshine and ready to carry on going places. A quick stop at the Bluebird cafe for breakfast and off on the road again. Our journey started on the Interstate 70 which, for being an Interstate is very scenic and rather pleasant to ride. The first […]

We woke up this morning after a few extra roll overs in bed and no rush to get out and about as we knew the weather was forecast to be average at best. By the time we got up there was some blue skies about and the sun was shining […]

Day 43, Glenwood Springs & Aspen CO

We woke up this morning surprised to see sunshine as the forecast predicted rain… Bonus as packing up in the rain is never fun. We provisioned last night so breakfast was quite nice with a veggie scrambled eggs. We were on the road around 10 and headed to the ‘scenic […]

Another beautiful day awaited us as we unzipped the tent. Still somewhat fresh of course but blue skies and sunshine. Big breakfast this morning as Zoe had planned a hike to the bottom of the Canyon. There are 3 ‘routes’ down to the bottom of the Canyon from the south […]
