Yes, that’s right – we are in Colorado now. We crossed the border this morning after 16 miles. The smell of sage brush permeated the air, and for us, this was the first time in several years.
After the violent winds and thunderstorm of last night, we were curious to know how the weather would be – and more specifically, how the winds would be this morning.
The first thing we did was look at the American flag flying high at the gas station across the street. As you can see from the picture it was blowing strongly out of the east, which means we had a tail wind.
We moved as quickly as possible to pack and get ready to ride. There was no place in town to eat breakfast except the gas station and you couldn’t call that breakfast. So, we started riding.
At the Colorado border where we took several pictures, Jake’s grandpa arrived with some bananas and yogurts – our breakfast.
The tail wind lost its power later in the morning, but we had ridden far with its energy. We arrived in Eads just around noon with the temperature rising into the higher 90’s.
We thought about riding farther but there are no services for miles.
