1053ft. Straight down.

It really is amazing out here. 60 miles today to Canon City, CO. I'm 2
miles from Royal Gorge so first thing in the morning I bike across the
worlds highest suspension bridge, which I've been looking forward to
since before I left.

Camping free. In some state park. Thinking I might sleep out on a
picnic table. The ground is all rocks.

For whatever reason posts from my phone stoped working. Hopefully it fixes itself, like it did last time. Which only lasted a few hours. As of the past 2 days I can only make text posts from my phone or find a computer.

From blogspot’s help forum it seems other people are having the same problem. I should be pedaling instead of doing this.

And I was just thinking how well blogspot was working, oh well.

First day back on the road went great. 65.7 miles from Denver to Colorado Springs.

For the first time I'm taking advantage of a warmshowers.org, which is
a network of people sharing places to stay. I found Warren on there
and thanks to him I enjoyed a shower, great dinner, great company and
soon to enjoy a bed.

Thanks Warren!

Tough to leave another home. Thanks again guys, hopefully I'll see you
again soon.

Time to hit the ol' dusty trail. I've had a amazing time out here in
Denver with my sister, brother in law and niece. I like it out here
more and more everytime I visit.

But I still have a ways to go, so it's back on the road in the morning.

We went up into the mountains the other day. I'm anxious to bike it. I
plan on getting back on the road Monday.

I swapped out the rear wheel of my bike with my Denver ride.
