Morning Ride
The landscape reminded me of Portugal. The trees don’t get too high, but come right up to the road. The roads are twisty and snake through the hills, following the outline of the Colorado River. I saw quite a few other motorcycles, mostly sport bikes, winding their way along the road, and while I wouldn’t call it crowded, there were definitely folks taking advantage of a sunny day. The BMW R 1200 GS seemed to like stretching it legs after a few weeks of being idle.
