[QUOTE="NTXFJR, post: 1328644, member: 88839"] Pulled a SS1000 on the way home. Started out on Mt Evans with Tony and Griff, when they turned west, I turned east and made it home at about 5:40 this morning. No hail, but ran into some serious side line winds with accompanying downpours northwest of Amarillo. Holy smokes! I was prepared to deal with one or the other, but not both together. Sat out a couple of hours for that until things cleared up a bit. <edit> Hud made a good point about the resting thing, I left out that part. I chose to rest during fuel stops for a few minutes grabbing a snack while I was at it. That worked out well for me on this trip. The equipment that was new to me on this trip were a Camelbak, and an evaporative cooling vest. They both were great to have. Griff [S]forced[/S] [S]coerced[/S] let me volunteer to go along with him across the 102 degree plains of Colorado toward Lamar as he bagged up some TOH points. They have some of those sites in the most obscure places. Both of those pieces of equipment worked well and made that ride very tolerable. [/QUOTE]
