Today’s Highlights:
After eight days of riding from Salt Lake, we had our second rest day of the trip. Since June 2, we covered 1460 miles and climbed over 53,000 feet. I spent 100 hours on the saddle and pedaled 367,970 strokes. That number doesn’t really mean anything – just a little trivia. With two sections complete, we had our highest total elevation gain of the trip (almost 8,000 feet back on June 5), our highest summit (11.000 feet on June 20) and our second longest distance (118 miles on June 12). Looking forward, there are still challenges ahead of us, with some very long back-to-back rides.
My day in Pueblo was simple. I had to catch up on some work and mail, and I generally just took it easy. Some of the riders went to an antique car show in town.
