Day 22 Colorado Springs, CO to Limon, CO


Well, today we left the Rockies behind. I was hoping to be able to watch them disappear throughout the day in my rear view helmet mirror, but it didn’t work out that way. It was overcast with a little mist first thing in the morning when we hit the road. To get out of Colorado Springs, we had to climb over a ridge line through city streets and it was very steep and tough. Once we got to the north side of Colorado Springs, the mist turned to downright rain. We had rain/fog/mist for the first half of the day and then it cleared out. This was the first day that I had to get out my rain gear, but by the time we stopped at the first SAG to put it on, we were already soaked. I rode with Dan and John again today.

So, we never got another look at the Rockies and now we are in the high plains. We stayed at the high school in Limon. We had our Peleton meeting in the beachers on the football field and I thought it fitting with the whole group sitting in the stands, to lead them in a cheer…..like we were at a game.

Give me an “E”……give me an “X”……”L”…….”A”……”X”. What does that spell?.......”ExLax”!

What does it mean?.........”GO, GO, GO!!”

Well, I was just trying to have a little fun!
