Snapshots on the road to Sturgis


Jay rides out of Bosler Junction in Wyoming to begin a stretch of highway that had all of us reaching for one superlative after another. Click on this and any other image in the blog to enlarge it. (Photo by Carole Timm)

The day dawns rainy and foggy as we fuel up for our departure from King Creek Ranch.

Ed thinks it's going to rain all the way to Sturgis but, in fact, we rode out of it in about two hours.

Rain or shine, Greg is ready to ride his gorgeous Road King Classic.

There is waiting time before the start as three riders are delayed, allegedly by heavy rain in Vail.

The Bosler Junction road starts out looking straight and routine, but the unforgettable curvery begins just beyond the horizon.(Photo by Roy Timm)

After riding for hours in the afternoon heat of the Wyoming plains, cold drinks and ice creams are in order at a gas stop.

If you click on the photo to enlarge it, you will see the mountain sculpture of Crazy Horse on the road leading to Sturgis. Mount Rushmore is farther up the road.
