CoSTOC 9/12/11 - Ride the Big Horns again

Click Here for Start of Day Photos

Final day of the CoSTOC Trip is a quick run from Basin to Billings, except for Breakfast at Dirty Annies and an extended stop for the construction on US 14 on the Dayton side. They are repaving the entire east side... it really needed it as the tar snakes prevent any kind of spirited ride.

When we left Manitou it was showing 2 degrees above freezing. For some reason I was OK without the electric vest. I rode as far as Craig with these guys then headed north.

I didn't make it home... ended up in Basin, WY at the Lilac Motel again. $39 with a rock solid WiFi... I was able to upload the photos

CoSTOC 9/10/11 SAT

Sat, Sep 10, 2011

Activity Type: Motorcycling | Event Type: Touring

Summary

Tim and Mark were kind enough to allow me to "camp" in their room. We rode some back roads together to Deckers and my old stomping ground roads near Evergreen. Even went by Echo lake and the old cabin. I got a little nostalgic wishing I could have been riding my bicycle with all the bicycles in Deer Creek Canyon. I was pretty lonely back in the day. We also went to Echo lake and came back through Evergreen and rode the back way through Stanley Park and North Turkey Creek.

Not included on the maps was a ride over to Harley Davidson with Terry and Mark to get a new adapter cable for the electric vest. Norman looked at (and later bought) an ST, trading his Buell in on it. Welcome to the fold Norman

Summary- Billings to Casper via US14 west over the Big Horns and US16 east over the Big Horns again... Granite Pass and Ten Sleep Pass. US 14 on the Dayton side is milled and undergoing repaving... the delay was not bad. Stopped in Burgess to see if the guys had arrived. They had not. I was thinking they were riding up from Greybull and I'd run into them as I was riding down to Greybull. . Turned out they rode up from Lovell and had lunch in Burgess as I was having lunch at Dirty Annies down in Shell just 25 miles away. I did not see them until Manitou as they stayed in Lander just west of Casper about 110 miles. I rode on intending to make Laramie but ended up in Casper. I had to call the cops during the night as there was a disturbance at the Motel 6. Casper is a hole. It isn't the first time I had trouble in a motel there (Ramada) I'll not ever stop in Sheridan or Casper again.
