Day 17 - From Green River, CO to Montrose, Colorado - 73 miles

Today was a really nice day... it wasn't as hot out - about high 80s/low 90s. We had a nice bike path for the first 15 miles along the Colorado River - we all rode in group so we didn't get lost since there were some confusing directions for it. Then we had a headwind for the next 30 miles or so and then had a nice low wind for the last part of the ride, which kept us cool. Since today was a shorter day, we stopped in Delta, Colorado to have a nice lunch at a mom and pop cafe - I spent most of the day riding with Mark and Lynda who are both doing a section ride from Salt Lake City, Utah to Pueblo, Colorado. I kept feeling like my back tire was going flat but it wasn't - I think I was just tired maybe? I am not sure! Tomorrow we have lots of climbing so hopefully its just my tire and not my legs! I took lots of photos today of us on the bike path along the Colorado River but accidently deleted them from my camera --- oops! So much for that. You can just imagine a group of 40 riders along a beautifully paved path along a large flowing river :)

Am really enjoying "riding" with you. I get to enjoy all of the feel good moments and don't sweat the headwinds. You go, girl!

Hey Audrey, it's Becky! I can't find a hotel in Pueblo. The whole town is booked! I'm thinking I might just drive down on Saturday morning and back to Denver on Saturday night. Call or email me if you get this and have a chance before Saturday. Hopefully, I'll see you soon! Becky

Ok, This is my 3rd attempt to post a comment. Audrey, glad you are having such a terrific time. One flat tire-you are truly lucky. I do hope you don't get another one though. Wish I was sagging for you all. That would have been fun. Can't beleive that lady brought ice cream for you all in Colorado. How wonderful. Well, I'll see if this one gets posted. Don't know why they haven't gone through. :) Hugs, Aunt Joyce
