Day 32 - 94.88 Miles
Mountains in Sight
Pueblo, CO
Great riding today. The storms from last night shifted the wind patterns greatly in our favor, as a stiff wind blew out of the east all day. We were able to coast pretty much all the way into Pueblo, one of the biggest cities we've seen since the start (pop. 100,000). We checked into the Sleep Inn, that Jon's friends Greg and Katie had booked for us, because they were driving down from Denver to take us out for the evening. We had a great meal at a Texas Roadhouse with them, where peanut shells covered the ground, real rodeo competitors were eating after the Colorado State Fair, the rib meat just fell off the bone, and the made-to-order margaritas were the best thing we'd had to drink in a long time.
Theme song: Hello City by the Bare Naked Ladies.
