I normally ride with a GoPro attached to the chin bar of my helmet, which makes taking pictures easy. About 20 minutes after leaving Mayhill , heading south to the start, a bee flew up my sleeve, and stung me. In my flailing, I broke the GoPro right off the mount, and it shattered on the pavement. So my only pictures were taken from my phone, which is why I took so few.
Stopped in Pagosa for a pic of the balloon.
Trail break at old mine. Derek found an old mine tunnel and we explored a bit.
Derek had commented several times that his rear tire was needing replacement, but decides to roost me when I get off to open the gates for us????!!
Water break
Cooling off after Chloride Canyon.
Derek and I are both in construction, and stop at most older buildings.
Outside of Reserve, near the AZ border, north of 9000'. The highest point until Section 7.
The world's most expensive, over designed, over built mine shaft cap.

Coyote NM. We have managed to avoid rain, but are headed toward this thunderhead. Just as we approach, the road bends and we miss the brunt of it. We never put on any rain gear the whole trip. This is my last photo before my phone ran out of juice...
