A few pics from yesterday's ride. It was good riding as usual with Dan and Dustin.

A little adventurer heading up American Flag mtn.

A 900 or so cc's larger and a couple years older Dan comes through.

A newer Tacoma had slid off the road and was high centered. This created quite the cluster for an hour or so.

Silver the cowdog was no help.

Then a jeep came along and saved the day.

Victorious on top of American Flag mtn.

Taking in the route up the mtn, the collegiate peaks, and all things good about Colorado.

Unwrapping the flag.

This is what happens when you stop on a Yellow Pig ride to take a picture. You fall behind...

??? Lost hiker's best friend. Dustin helps a gal on Cement Creek area find her way back to her truck.

Near alpine tunnel. I talked to these 2 for a bit and found out they had made the alpine tunnel. They referred to Hancock and Tomichi as "those 2 roads". A fun chat with them.

Coming up Hancock with Tomichi in the background.

Dan doing what many do when they get to the top of Hancock.

Final shot as Yellow Pig and Acupuncture4u head down the St. Elmo side of Hancock Pass.

Wish I could have fit this one in! Looks like a nice ride. After Saturdays single-track eating "Mother of all rides" adventure I don't quite think I would have been up for a Sunday ride! Glad you had fun.
