Dave  & Charlene Y-man hosted a New Years Day ride at the Dead Cow wash outside Grand View.

Charlene made a couple of pots of Taco Soup plus other eats.

 

IT WAS 15F  WHEN I ARRIVED AND PROBABLY WARMED UP TO 22-25F IN THE AFTERNOON.                               

AS WE GOT READY TO GO, BUTCH COULDN'T CRANK HIS BIKE. CLOSER INSPECTION  SHOWED HIS COOLANT FROZEN ! HE DECIDED TO FIRE UP A COUPLE OF HEATERS IN TRAILER TO THAW OUT THE BIKE.

THE REST OF US DECIDED TO TAKE A SHORT WARM UP RIDE AND LOOP BACK TO SEE WHAT THE DAMAGE WAS.

BY 2:30 WE DECIDED TO HEAD BACK. CHECK ON BUTCH’S BIKE AND EAT.

BUTCH AND CHARLENE WERE GONE, SO HIS BIKE MUST BE OK. THEY ROLLED IN ABOUT 10 MINUTES.

WE HAD A GOOD TIME WITH THE FOOD AND FIRE.

 

AFTER FELLING UP ON TACO SOUP, CHIPS, SALSA – GORDON , TOM,GREG & I DECIDED TO GET A QUICK 10 MILES WHILE WE STILL HAD SOME DAY LIGHT.

GORDO WAS THE UNDOCUMENTED  TRAIL BOSS.
