Day 22: We eat pieces of hills like this for breakfast

82.8 miles. Averaged 13.8 mph. Good day. We slept in and awoke to some snow flurries. So it was a bit chilly today. The wind was partially at our backs but we'll take that any day. We crossed into colorful Colorado and left the O'Douls filled gas stations of Utah. As Vance mentioned yesterday, in Colorado, you can find anything you want everyday and twice on Sunday. Unfortunately, we did not find a Subway today but the next time we do Mrs. Wilkins, we'll definitely ask for that sponsorship. That's what we'd call a Hole-in-One. It was mostly rolling hills today. We could have taken a nap on those hills. Tomorrow we have a big climb over Lizard Head Pass. Hopefully it's more of a gradual climb to 10,000 ft. We'll just have to be thinking,"It's all in the hips. It's all in the hips. It's all in the hips." We're onto our next map, map 4. Only 6 more maps to go after this one and only 6 more states to go including Colorado. As for the mileage, the whole trip is not just 3000 miles as you might think. It's actually 3784 miles according to the maps. The title is somewhat deceiving but if you round down it's all good. So far, based on the maps, we have ridden 1230 miles. Only 2554 miles to go! We're not surprised

Colorado must be pretty colorful
