Beauty is real

Dear Colorado,

You rock. I love you. You are so beautiful and I want to ride through
the Rocky Mountain region forever. Your terrain is ultimate.

Highlights of the past two days (100 and 80 miles for Buena Vista and
Gunnison)

-Reaching two high peaks and gaining a lot of elevation. We're talking
high thousands here and moving at a pace of approx. 5 MPH

-Getting to the top of Monarch Crest today with an elevation of 11,312
feet.

-Following said summiting with a group Cupid Shuffle Dance

-The descents of the past two days down the mountains. Flying through
8 miles of terrain in less than 10 minutes maxing out at 45
MPH...yeeehaaaw

-Riding through the Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs (pictures
above)

-Meeting at least 4 other transcontinental riding groups or persons
along route 24. We met people riding from Blacksburg, VA to Portland
and a group going from Canada to Mexico along the Divide.

The pictures!!!
