| Day Two - To Fort Collins Colorado |
| Day Two has taken us to Fort Collins Colorado. Distance from Raton is only 267 miles give or take a little. The idea is to take it a little easier today after the longer ride yesterday. It gives both of us a chance to take in the scenery. Before we hit Denver, we come across a Starbucks, so that was a good reason to pull over and rest the weary beehind.... On the north side of Denver on Hwy 25 there was a Harley dealership offering out free food and drinks... yeah a Harley dealership. It was probably the HOG group that sponsored it, but whatever, another good reason to stop. We found our hotel early today around 2:00PM.... nice quiet afternoon before another long day tomorrow. |

| It was not such an early start this morning as we new the day was not a long one, however we were still on the road by 8:00am. In comparision to yesterday the countryside did change dramatically. |
| It did not take long until we pulled over to put on extra clothes. Chloe finally got to wear her chaps, that helped keep us a little warmer. It is surprising how cool it gets when you ride in the valley's early in the morning. |
| As we rode on we came out of the mountains and rode beside them. So we had the Rocky's on one side and the open plains on the other. |
| The countryside is great, its not clear in these pics but the mountains in behind is an awsome sight. |
| For most of day two this was what we had to look at..... hey someone has to do it... |
