We went back to Anthem to ride until they shut the lights off. Things cleared out fairly quickly and we were able to get some good runs in. As it got to 3 minutes before closing, the park official had to honk the horn at us to let us know he was ready to close the park and go home.

When we rode past, he commented, “If you want to ride some more, just come back tomorrow.”

I replied, “I drove 400 miles to ride here and we are leaving tomorrow. I don’t have that luxury.”

I got no response.

Many thanks to Kenneth, who rode with us to the end.
