BHR Day 2, June 24 – Raton, NM to Winter Park, CO

Sunday, actually a pretty good day. Trip up through Colorado. What beautiful country, trout fisherman everywhere and I mean everywhere. Glen saw a red fox early in am in parking lot, we passed one running alongside the road by some lake. Our original route plan is changed as we take a detour to Bishop Castle in Colorado. It’s a medival castle that has been contructed by a single man, with the only additional funding of donations.

We also did Berthoud pass, which was over 11,000 feet.
We see a few antelope as well, I thought I may have seen some elk but more than likely it was antelope. Lisa has a deer jump over her while riding.
We hit a snag, an accident in the tunnel on I-70. We don’t need to go that far, so we decide to take the “fast lane”. Twenty three bikes on the shoulder of the highway, slowly passing cars that are barely moving, to our exit, back on the road again and on to Winter Park, CO.

Supper was at probably the nicest restaurant of our trip. Good meal and lo and behold we had a mystery dinner santa who picked up the tab for the group, what a pleasant surprise

Approx 330 miles, that is a guess as our route changed for Bishop Castle detour (worth it!)
