Today was the last day of this great Ride to Colorado.
We left Amarillo, TX ...
... at 11am after enjoying breakfast together and stayed on the highway all the way to Colleyville, TX. We stayed dry and highest temperature we encountered was 96F although most of the day temperatures hovered around 90F.
For lunch we stopped at Dawson Family Restaurant in Childress, TX. I had the buffet (double whammy Chicken Fried Steak and Fried Chicken) and Paula had a Chicken Fajita Salad.
We arrived home at 5pm. We had done the 300+ miles in 6 hours, including the lone stop for lunch and gas.
It has been a great and memorable ride where we have ridden with friends from the LoneStarRiders Club, met friends that were amazing hosts, spent time with our daughter and spent a lot of time together enjoying each other's company and the beautiful state of Colorado. We did memorable rides that I will always remember including Mount Evans Scenic Byway, Engineers Pass, The Corkscrew, Alpine Loop, Million Dollar Highway, Highway of Legends, Rocky Mountain Trail Ridge Road, Route 6 and many others. We had great food, tasted different types of micro brews and enjoyed amazing sights.
We really enjoy these adventures and are very happy and fortunate that we do them "because how we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives".
"It's an experience we shall always remember, or an experience which, alas, we shall never forget." ... Julius Gordon
