I hear crickets...

 

even the crickets left the room on this one...

 

I'll be there... The mountains are pretty awesome at night.

 

I haven't even done Motorway in the light yet.

 

No loss there....it's better in the dark.

 

It's pretty nice in the dark... Come on out!

 

I think I'll skip the Stevie Wonder version... this time around.

 

Sounds like a great time. Weather looks to be great with the humidity declining and a breeze. I think it was not as hot today as expected.

Have a great ride, yall!

 

It' was a great night out there......oh, yeah...and a great ride.

Everyone else missed out.

 

NICE. Better than most, you know that if you want something done right, you gotta do it yourself

 

I was thinking about you guys last night as the sun was going down and the wind picked up. Hoping you wouldn't get blown off the Divide.. But it sounds like you had an amazing ride under nearly ideal conditions! Awesome.
