Last ride of the season?

After watching the weather report on Saturday night, Andy and I made the decision to wake up early, attend first service at church, then drive down to our storage unit to take the motorcycle out for one final ride. Before leaving for church we gathered a few extra layers just in case. It looked like we were ready to hit the slopes as we left the hotel with our gloves, snow pants, and winter coats. (I also grabbed the scarf my sister knitted for me a couple of years ago just in case.) It was a beautiful day-sunny, blue skies, and temps in the 50's and 60's (depending on whether you were in the shade in the middle of a canyon or in the sun at a red light). We decided to head west toward Glenwood Springs. While there we stopped at a little 50's style diner for lunch then took in a movie for the fun of it. Before heading home we decided to take a "little" detour up and down a pass that Andy had traveled over a couple of weeks ago at the beginning of his camping trip. The detour took a little longer than either of us figured it would and we were quite chilly when we returned to the lower, warmer elevation in town. It's amazing what a couple thousand feet will do to the temperature!! All in all we had a great, memorable day and after 150 miles we were more than ready to head home. Here are a couple of pictures from our final trip of the season:
