Good evening dear reader,
After yesterday's long hours in the saddle today was going to be shorter, but it didn't end up that way. I had a poor nights sleep as it turned very cold and damp in the night. I stayed in my sleeping bag for as long as I could and finally got out at 8:00 and was on the road for 9:00. I found some fuel and and some fruit, and then started a long climb up through the passes. I had to stop half way just to have a break and put on some more clothes. As usual the scenery was fantastic from up there. I reached Salida and had a cold drink in McDonalds then headed out on the 24 towards Leadsville where I had intended to camp but it was too early to stop.. so on I went heading for the next Campsite on my list and that was in Longmont, only when I got there it did not exist, so back to the list and located another at Este Park yet another 35 miles on…
Ah well I saw some great scenery and was riding above the snow line for some of the way and even the lakes are still frozen. Anyway I am here and I am staying two nights and not riding at all tomorrow.
The I will be riding around to Granby then taking the 125 to Walden and then heading for Laramie. I am not how far that it but I think it only 200 miles, and hey presto I will then be in Wyoming.
I will recap some more tomorrow and I am doing bugger all and the washing…. Life of the road huh..
