We don't dial 911 - but we serve good food! Eads, Colorado. Uneven tire wear - I blame it on crosswinds in Kansas! Between Eads and Limon, Colorado. "Arriba!" I did not feel like Speedy Gonzales that day. (Too hot and hardly any places to get some rest on the way) Shortcut near Limon, CO that Google Maps didn't know of. Kiowa, Colorado The Über Sausage - For some reason this was the first picture I took in Denver, CO. Mile High City Denver, Colorado. Being a good tourist. Almost got a parking ticket at that spot later. Climbing up Highway 40 outside Denver Met Jerry on Highway 40. We rode together for about 15 miles on Interstate 70. He had done most of the Transamerica Trail in '94 and was easily able to keep up with me! Camping in Idaho Springs, CO. Big families need big vehicles. Sometimes a stretch limousine will do. At the same campground in Idaho Springs. 7 years ago I drove on this road in a car. This time I chose a bicycle. Highest elevation of the whole trip at 11307ft / 3446m! RIding down Berthoud Pass was the best possible way to spend an afternoon. Berthoud Pass Fraser, Colorado. The views outside Fraser speak for themselves. Near the top of Willow Creek Pass. Willow Creek Pass. Highway 125. Time stands still along Highway 125. A total of 5 bicyclists camped in the mosquito-hell of Walden City Park that night. I met Cole and Michael from Tallahassee that I was riding with for a couple of days here. Cole, Michael and I had a really big breakfast at the River Rock Cafe in Walden.
