Spent a very pleasant 4 days up there earlier on in the year.
managed to ride the Wrynose and  Hardknott passes. Very enjoyable but not for the faint hearted.

Nice! Fall rides are some of the best...no bugs! :-)
I went on a nice ride near my home close to the Rockies 2 weeks ago. Went up to over 8000 feet high and it was quite cold out but with heated grips, heated seat and a heated jacket liner could have ridden forever. Love the RT for those creature comforts.

Very impressive, a number of years back we did the Wrynose & Harknott passes in a Galaxy.  At some point would love to do it on the RT.  We had just buried my mother, and my father came from the area, and wanted to go over it.  Did he tell us what was in store?  Nope!

Certainly it is on my bucket list!
Best regards, Sleuth
