Today was a rough one. It started out cold and windy as we left Salina, KS and once we stopped for pizza across the Colorado state line we had cold rain and fog. It got so bad on the way to Colorado Springs that the temperature was in the 40s, we couldn't see 20 yards ahead of us for the fog, and it was raining. Thankfully, once we got into Colorado Springs the rain and fog let up and the weather tomorrow is forecast to be much better as we ride Pikes Peak. We also had a nice meal at Outback and we're settled into a Days Inn earlier than we have been the past two nights. We covered 450 miles today for a total of over 1350.
Now, if only our stuff will dry out over night. But even as hard as the day was, we're in good spirits and are still having a blast. We keep joking that we wanted an adventure and that's what we're getting. The next couple of days will be through parts of the Rocky Mountains and we're looking forward to riding something other than boring, straight interstate highways.
After Pikes Peak, we're heading north through Denver and into Wyoming. We're counting on the weather forecasters being right. We'll keep you posted.
