Canon City, Colorado
75 miles today and we descended from over 10000 ft to 5800 ft. We climbed over 3 passes enroute here including crossing the Continental Divide for the 6th and last time. A relatively short ride to eastern Pueblo tomorrow primarily to set us up to be able to ride 60 to 80 miles per day after that through Kansas and still be near to a town large enough to have a motel each night. Severe thunderstroms tonight and tornado watch. We got in just in time. We will probably send home most of our cold weather gear from Pueblo, The temperature this afternoon was just shy of 90.

ReplyDeleteI was just going through the pictures from our 1 year anniversary trip that Jeff and I took last year to Mexico and reminiscing over how irritated that Jeff got with me when I was backseat kayaking during our tandem ocean kayak trip (I mean, come on, out of the two of us, who knows better how to kayak?!). Anyway, it dawned on me that there is NO way we could do what you guys are doing...yet. Thanks for giving us something to strive for! Perhaps when we're in our mid 60's and have 36 years of marriage under our belts we'll be able to co-operate a bike...we'll have to wait until 70 before we attempt to traverse the country through ;)
ReplyDeleteWe've been offline for a few days so just catching up. WOW, you two are something else. Good work. Sounds like the workload (in terms of climbing) is less stressful now. Sure do admire you. Bill and Sharon.
