Day 17 - Tuesday

Today is the day I have to head back. It is a brisk, beautiful morning. I have about 1300 miles to ride in two days.





It is difficult to say goodbye to Jamie. It has been such a great trip and I am not sure when I will see her again, but I have to head home. So I say goodbye to her and the mountains as well.








Beautiful day to start home. The VW Microbus belongs to Jamie's neighbor.






Go my gear packed and ready to head back.



The ride back is off to a good start. Coming out of the Rockies towards Denver in the morning is great. It was dark when I came through here a couple of weeks ago so I didn't see much. Views are good and the Eisenhower Tunnel is a trip.



Traffic is light, weather is good, and the bike continues to run great. I kick back, put the feet up on the highway pegs and set the cruise control on 78.

I make it as far as Council Bluffs, Iowa where I pull off for the night.

Day 17 - 642 miles
