Day 39 Fruita, CO Rest Day

We are all quite exhausted and decided to rest one day to be in better shape and also to prepare for tomorrow big ride, which will be a good test of the shape we are in after more than five weeks on the road.

Tomorrow we will be riding 78 miles from Fruita to Loma, then on Highway 139 – the Douglas Pass road – to Rangely. There are no services – no food, no water – for the whole distance, and we will climb from 4490 feet at Fruita to over 8,100 feet over Douglas Pass. We organized food, water, etc. and drove in Dad’s car up to the top of the pass. It was a good rest day.
