Cheyenne to Twin Falls

I got a close-up look at the new can-am Spyder Roadster today at a Loves truck stop at Wamsutter, Wyo.

A guy from Ottawa, Canada and his girlfriend are riding it to the Redmond BMW MOA rally. We passed them on I-80 yesterday in Nebraska and they rolled into the truck stop while we were gassing our bikes.

The guy said he traded in his BMW K1200LT for the three-wheeler because it would carry his girlfriend more comfortably. It looks a bit unstable to me, but what do I know?

We rode 633 miles today from Cheyenne to Twin Falls, Idaho, which was more than yesterday but felt like fewer miles. We had good weather all day. Caught a few raindrops during the first 30 miles in Utah, but never got wet.

This is at least the third time I’ve stayed at the Twin Falls Motel 6 and it’s even nicer than ever with newly refurbished rooms. Dinner was salmon at Jaker’s steak house up the street where the waitress comped us dessert because of a snafu over silverware.

I’ve covered 1,728 miles since I left home.
