Day 12 Leaving Denver to New Mexico

It was a sad day leaving Denver. That left us down to us 3 Canadians, not that we weren't having an absolute blast, it was time to move on and say goodby to my buddy Doc.. We never laughed so hard as we did hangin with all these wonderful gals and guys and now saying good by to her was not easy. We promised not to cry because we would see each other next year It was time to move on to our next adventure. We knew we were headed to Socal to meet some new friends and to raise some awareness and money along the way. Bro had never seen the Grand Canyon so that was on our route. We would then head to meet Carrie Kuehn for CA and Brenda Fox, and the Pink Hummer. These are women that have given us great support. Carrie especially had donated her time and built us a website as she agreed with me mine sucked...lol Check it out Conga Website If you need a website built she is the gal. 
I was really looking forward to meeting Brenda Fox too, we had been talking alot and she was promoting the Conga on her site. The Pink Hummer said she would put on a barbeque and fundraiser. So we had the time, and couldn't think of a better place to ride, to meet  some more great online friends.

Cindy/Texasred gave us all her key fobs that she made to give as gifts for donations along the way. They were one hot ticket. We would tell people for a buck you get a thankyou for a couple you can take a picture, for 5 you can have a picture with our helmets on,and for $10 you can have a special made Conga key fob. One guy, can't remember where, gave me $100 bucks for one.  We always felt better when we had something to hand out.

We were heading to the desert and it was getting HOT!! Wilbur still stuck it out with the  wig, he knew how well it attracted attention. Attention meant donations. What a great sport.

 Our stops were getting more and more frequent as the heat really set in. Mind you every stop meant a donation of some sort.
Wilbur workin it!!

My Conga Biker Bear, this is his second Conga.

She just wanted her pic taken with us.

Day 11 Mount Evans

We said our good byes and and headed to Denver Colorado with our friend Harris. He was going to show us some sites and roads and that he did.We went to a Casino, now I can't remember the name any more.

Here we are funning it up in one of the gift shops.

On top of the world!
Here is Doc doing one of her little rants about us DOING IT!!
 Still doing the Conga down to the 3 of us. Wilbur stayed home for a couple reasons. After his little Ditch Digger Denver Episode, he would have been freeking!!
I will never forget Mount Evans...I DID IT!! Right to the top and believe me with out the skills of RLAP I wouldn't have made it. It was over 14,000 feet high. As Donna explained it,it was a goat trail, and she felt like a Billy goat. We were in first gear and the friction zone the whole dang way. I remember Fancypants riding ahead of me seeing just her, way up in the sky like she was going to ride over a cliff. It was amazing,because before she said she had a hard time turning her neck to look where she wanted to go. Well, I tell you, she used all of her skills to the max going up this mountain, I was worried about  her and was wondering what she was thinking. Holy crap, I was stressed so I knew she had to be. It was one of those instances that you definitely could not look at the scenery for more than a half a second. If someone said to me, lets do it again, I would NOT!! There was only one problem we had to go back down and we were not looking forward to it... We did survive.
Here we are celebrating that we were still alive!!

Day 10 Saying good bye


 Day 10, time to say goodbye, and believe me, it was not easy! We all bonded so much. Most were leaving. Tanya was heading out on the iron butt ride back to Canada. Most of us were choking up even our Cabana boys. We not only had fun getting to know each other, got some awesome riding in and raised alot of money by now.  I believe it was $20,000.00 by then. Too much time has passed by now for me to remember.




Everyone was leaving but us and Tamela...sad it went so fast!!!




Our Cabana boy Eric and Sonny, where the heck is Wilbur and the Creeper??
