Ride Report: Colorado Rockies Part 2
This is part 2 of the story, and part 1 can be found here
After a weekend of working by day, and fixing my Valk by night it was finally time to depart for the mountains. Raymond and Rhonda had spent the weekend at my place, so on Monday morning we headed out on our journey. The first stop would be Seiling, Ok to top off the fuel tanks and meet up with Buzz from Edmond. The route out of Oklahoma would be the Northwest Passage that took us west through the length of the Oklahoma Panhandle. As usual in the Oklahoma panhandle, the wind was rather brisk and combined with our pace nocked the fuel mileage down somewhat. By the time we stopped for lunch in Clayton, NM Raymond was complaining about the low fuel mileage and cost of fuel. Rhonda agreed to work overtime when they got back to pay for the extra fuel cost. Since she works on a fixed salary with no overtime pay, Raymond didn’t seem to be too convinced. Buzz was riding his 2 cylinder BMW, and while getting 40+mpg didn’t seem to understand what all the fuss was about….
