The COBDR was awesome except we managed to catch a horribly soggy time. Basically, everything after Lake City was a disaster. Road closures, pass closures, and communicator failures. Had to detour to Montrose to get a new mic and from there was just a horrible downpour the whole way to Telluride and off and on rain to Dolores. Don't think I was happier to see the sun and the city of Durango
The rain can definitely add to the adventure! I've ridden thousands of miles in it on the road, but rain while riding the dirt is a very different story! I've certainly learned a lot from that on other trips.
Thank you SO much for sharing these from your BDR trip. I can't get enough of this scenery, especially the kodachrome skies.
The scenery was absolutely incredible, and the skies were stunning.
