Rio Grande to Ogden

Why is it when February arrives that we are all so eager to ride that we sometimes head out with a good plan and due to holiday treats, we miss the train. YES, yesterday morning is a case-in-point when BIG MAN encouraged Prez Hale to ride the Rio Grande trail to Ogden and take the FrontRunner back.

"Come on, it will be fun. We'll leave at 6:30 AM, get to the West Bountiful trail head and we catch the 9:07 AM train back".... NOT  As you will see, there were a few too many stops looking at shiny things and the extra baggage from holiday treats didn't help.

However, the ride back was BIG MAN's favorite as you can see him cursing at 79.5 mph eating a cliff bar.,,,, :-)

1st stop to look at a COOL place to take grand-kids..... 

Hey, I know we are getting close to Ogden, just hang with me for a little longer

 See, I told you



 MAX SPEED.... 79.5 MPH, while eating a cliff bar

 Exact words from the camera man, 
"Man you are getting OLD, look at all those wrinkles and gray hair".. :'(
