Well, another all too entertaining weekend was had. I’m certainly not going to bore you guys with all the nonsense we got up too while not riding, we’ll keep this down to a pure Ride Report!
Start Location for RR, Himville! More specifically Himville Arms Hotel. Due to the fact that we had arrived a little later than expected on Saturday afternoon, the fact that they had had an incredible storm the previous day which had broken some dam walls, the fact that it was still drizzling and the fact that 2 guys who had just come off the mountain suggested that we’d not have time to get up and down and still beat the border closing… we decided to rather enjoy the hospitality of The Arms and ride the pass in the morning.
It turned out to be a good choice. Sunday morning was magnificent. Sun shining, clean fresh air and my rump had recovered from the ride down. We ate a great breakfast and hit the road. It was really sad to see them preparing to tar the first bit of dirt. And they have ruined the road. They have laid sand down up to the border post and the road was MUD. Lots of the stuff. I can’t say I have a ton of experience in the stuff, and thank heavens, did not go down, but I really had some good slides.
