Bike is packed!

Great stuff! Thanks for the maps and photos. Do you have documentation to file for an Iron Butt award? ... you might be the first to use a Ryker!

Haha I do not! And it was the stock seat! I tried an Airhawk and hated it so it got packed away the rest of the trip. My butt really wasn't all that bad. Some typical soreness. Was more my wrist and shoulder(past moto injury). Used some KT tape for the trip home which seemed to help a little.

I had bought some grips in Denver to swap out but never found time to sit and change them.


I would love to ride around up there some more but without gear. The extra weight on one side and then on the pass seat made some turns feel tougher. I'd love to just go play in some of those twisty areas for a day.

Just checked the requirements for the IBA and nah, no witness and all that jazz. Plus I forgot to start Riser in Ouray and instead started it in Silverton which would put it right about 1k mi but I don't have proof.

All good, I know I did it so...

Sounds like a great trip. Next time you should do the same thing but plan on a hotel room near the fun twisty area. Unload all your gear in the room and go play for a day.

Definitely! Next time I go it'll be specifically for that. Maybe stay in Ouray again as that's a neat little town. Then just go ride around all weekend and explore.
