Hey Fans,

On the 5th I woke up at 5 am, poked the wife with a stick, drove to town in the light of dawn, and fired up my 2003 RUFster S. At 6:50 am we left W. Laramie and headed through Woods Landing, WyoCola, Cowdrey, and Walden. In 68 minutes we traveled 101 miles to the base of Rabbit Ears Pass.

I did not carry on the pace (89mph avg) over the pass because of the Instant On the smokeys use. I thought the run was good enough and did not press my luck.

We watched a couple of good friends ride in the rodeo slack at Steamboat Springs, ate lunch and headed back at a leisurely pace, V1 screaming occasionally.

This is God's Playground for the Boxster out here in a remote part of the Rockies. There are so many outstanding canyon and pass roads with so few mounties and tourists. I use every bit of my RUF upgrade when I go out for a dawn run, and never have regreted a cent that I spent on it.
