We're in Riverside, Wy
Flat number 2 today. The good news is that it happend at the hotel before we even left this morning. However, the bad news is that the front derailer cable is fraying and trying to break. The bad news; we only have 2 front gears. The good news; we have 2 front gears and 1 of them is our granny gear. We're climbing for the next 3 or 4 days and will not be using the big ring that much anyway. Worse case we climb with nothing but the granny gear up front and coast to Pueblo. There used to be a bike shop in Rawlings, unfortunately he passed away. Next possibility for a bike shop is Breckenridge at least 2 days away and at 9500 feet. Brings back visions of looking for a bike shop in France. We met a guy from the Netherlands heading to Portland on his own, on the way here today. We had a nice visit for a few minutes on the side of the rode. We recommended that he have a brew at Jolts on his way thru. We are staying at Lazy Acres campground tonight. Very nice cabin. On to Walden tomorrow.

Well, almost out of Wyoming! The next time you want to bike through this state call us. We'll put you on a nicer trail than going through the desert! OMG, you could not have picked a more dreadful way to get to Colorado. The Red Desert is empty for a reason!At least you're in a nicer spot now in the Medicine Bow National Forest.We're keeping up with your travels.
