Route 92 is at the west end of the reservoir, and it takes you along the north rim of the Black Canyon of the Gunnisson. One of the great roads of the trip. We followed a Goldwing and an FJR1300 for the first few miles:
After soaking in the motorcycling bliss that is the north rim, we headed on up through Crawford and Hotchkiss to Delta. We got some lunch there, meeting a guy on an Aprilia Tuono as we left the gas station/Wendys. From Delta, we headed back down the road a few miles to pick up route 65 north over Grand Mesa. There was some construction and a few delays on the route, but it was a really good road with fantastic views as we made the initial climb up the side of the mesa. We'd never done this road before, and it was really good. The best was at the north end where it approaches I70:
Once we got on I70, it was a dash across the Utah border to route 128, which takes you down to Moab along the Colorado river. Mr. 675 had driven this before, but neither of us had ridden it. It's a Gorgeous Road. A little too crowded for really spirited riding, but still fantastic:
