Hot springs Village Arkansas to Durango Colorado

2nd day of our trip. Who would've thought winter riding gear going across the plains for this time of year. Left Meade Kansas about 7 am, temp was 60F. At 65 mph the temp on the skin felt 40ish. Finally put on the our summer jackets when we got on Rt 12 outside of Trinidad Colorado. Rt 12 is something I've wanted to do for several years. It's a fun ride with great scenery. Thought we'd stay in La Veda Colorado but didn't like the looks of any motel in the area. So we hit RT 160w and ran into more winter weather. Cold rain and lightening. Called it a day in Alamosa Colorado. Will start posting pics on tomorrows final run into Durango.

Great Scenery and glad you were prepared for the changing weather conditions. Bet you need the jackets tomorrow morning for the first 100 miles 'til you clear Wolf Creek pass and get down in elevation to Pagosa Springs. Its nice to share your journey. Looking forward to the pics!!

This is a 50-60 mph two lane road. They had a bike race on it today, 100s of bikers. Crazy

They are not bikers ................... they are Bi-Cyclers, and they can go either way.

Born and raised in CO. Hard to find a bad place there. I still go back to Durango every year. Wonderful places to ride.
