U.S. Route 287

And so I'm on my BMW R1250GS Adventure, and rather than riding up the canyons like we had previously thought about, we decide to aim west or northwest into Wyoming, Laramie specifically, and then we'll cut over from there.

And sure enough, Highway 287 outside of Fort Collins decides to throw everything it has at us.

Yeah, we should have known better, but who cares, right? Granted, we're on these relatively heavy motorcycles and we're leaning into the wind as we have to, and that's fine.

Hey, we've got experience.
