The 30 degrees temperatures this morning delayed our ride. We layered up and left around 11:30. It was in the mid 50's and sunny skies when we headed to Durango.
We stopped and shopped at Harley Davidson in Durango, then continued to Mesa Verde. We ate our picnic lunch at a nice park in Mancos.
We had been to Mesa Verde 5 years ago in the summer time. We thought it was pretty then until we saw the fall foliage today. It was Absolutely Gorgeous. There were less people here today than before. Our kind of place.
We stopped and looked at some of the cliff dwellings, most of which we had already seen before. We decided today was a day to ride, not hike, being we were overdressed.
We took a ride on Wetherill Mesa Road. It was 12 miles one way of sharp curves, steep grades, and awesome scenery. We were hoping to find wild horses. We did not find any, but saw plenty of horse poop in the road. The horses are still there.
The delay of take off this morning resulted in riding home at dusk. It was a cold enjoyable ride, watching the sun set and seeing Shiprock in the horizon.
The temperatures today ranged from mid 50's to mid 60's. We stayed layered up all day. We went looking for cooler weather and we found it.
