Day 41

Start: Maybell, CO
End: Dinosaur, CO
Distance today: 57.3
Total: 2660.3

Well I must have jinx it by my post yesterday... We did NOT make it out of Colorado today (although we are only 3 miles from the border)

We rode less than 60 miles, yet it was one of the hardest days yet due to a 30 mph head wind the ENTIRE day! I cannot think of anything more frustrating than pedaling as hard as you can DOWNHILL and just barely reaching 10 mph.

About halfway through the day we encountered two riders going the other way (they started in San Francisco and were headed toward Washington DC). They had apparently just hit 45 mph without even trying. I strongly dislike them right now...

Anyways, The town of Dinosaur has a nice park to camp in with free public showers, so that's a plus.:)

Oh, and in case you were wondering about the picture, yes, that is Michele trying to look like a dinosaur.
