The Black Canyon

Continuing Northwards, to ride along the South rim of The Black Canyon of the Gunnison river. Half a mile deep and very narrow at times the cliffs are black and near vertical.

Overnight in a motel at Cedaredge which we were expecting to be a little unusual from the website and phone conversations with the couple who ran it. We were not disappointed, the whole set up was totally whacky from Gary( oh yes, bosom buddies after 5 minutes) to the bizarre decor in the room - under bed lighting?? Meal was great and good conversation round the fire pit. Where the beer flowed freely. Met two "good ole boys" on a Harley road trip who gave us lots of info about Yellowstone etc. and two guys from Oz who were travelling round distillers learning how to make whiskey so they could set up an oz brand. Can't believe they'll get much help when they go to Scotland next!
