Colorado Rocks

And there are a lot of rocks. We climbed some of those rocks today.
78 mile day from Kremmling to Walden, the moose viewing capital of Colorado. We didn't decide where we were going until breakfast at the coffee shop; that's how we roll.
It was a beeeeautiful ride though. Colorado and Virginia have got to be my favorite states for riding so far. There are just awesome views in every direction in the rockies. The climbs are gradual, and the descents are fun.
So we arrived in Walden to the last night of the Bike Tour of Colorado camping in the same place we were planning to camp. Meaning Thomas and I had to search through the city park for a patch of free grass among the thousand tents. It's pretty funny; we used their "mobile showers" and when we step away from our bikes we are just like all the rest of them, but when we arrived we got some good reactions. One guy was seriously blown away about us going cross country self-supported. Probably our most impressed reaction thus far. And he was a shaved-leg cyclist. So thats saying something....

Butttt tomorrow---we get into Wyoming! Crazy.

My biggest regret of the trip: that I didn't pick up the "oversize load" sign from the side of the road way back in Kansas.

Also. NO ICE CREAM AGAIN TODAY.
