Day 26: Here endeth the lesson

86.8 miles. 14.1 mph. We're out of the Rockies and onto another map. It looks like we have a green light for the next ten days as far as weather is concerned. So we're going to get started early tomorrow. We really want to try and beat the heat as best we can. Today it was up to 100 degrees at one point. It was tough, but at least it wasn't humid. We decided to reward ourselves for finishing the Western Express Bicycle Route, so we found a cheap motel here in downtown Pueblo, CO. At one point we left the room for fourth meal at a fine, local, fast food establishment. Then when we returned we found our keys weren't working. It's a good thing Tim knows how to break a lock. I don't think duck tape would have worked in this instance. We would have had to sleep outside in the streets tonight. Way to go Tim!

Great camping spot

Last mountain pic. We'll miss those guys

  1. I don't think I want to know where Tim got that talent. Must have been those years at the hardware store. Yea, that must be it. I am so proud. Smooth sailing for a while. Be safe. Miss you. Love Mom W.
