Today was always designated as a 'bonus' day to get things done, relax, ride around and prepare all the items for the evening to come. The trip down took a tole on my 1 year old tires and they needed to be replaced, which is something I was expecting but not till California.
Darren made a few calls into Denver the night before and all was arranged. I took off from Dillon around 9:00AM and arrived at the Fay Myer dealership just after 10. Amazingly, they had my bike in right off. A big shout out to the service tech Bob, but a thumbs down to the staff in the parts and gear area. 3 times I asked for some help and was told, "yah, all that stuff is right over there, just find what ya like and bring it on up." Finally a young woman took the time to help me with the rain gear I needed to pick up for Tim.
50 minutes later and Bob came to let me know everything was done. Back on the road and I arrived at the Dillon in just minutes after 1:00. While away, some busy little helpers put all the swag bags together just perfectly.
Arrangements for everyone to pick up the goodies travelled fast and within 2 hours, 85% of the goods were out, to everyone's satisfaction. A few beers, some good conversation and much anticipation for the day to come.
But alas, the high elevation took it's toll and the start of a rather annoying cold was on the horizon. Nothing was going to hold me back from the Thursday, the main ride day, the day we all came here for.
