Day 17 Grand Junction to Montrose, CO

On the 20th of June 2006, we began the ride with an alumni from a previous ride leading us from the hotel to a bike path that led us almost 10 miles out of town. Over the next 50 miles, we climbed about 2000 ft with the wind again in our faces most of the time (sounds like whining, doesn't it!). While Colorado has more than its share of beautiful scenery, this ride was almost "vanilla" after yesterday's Moab adventure.

I had two flat tires (steel wires again) to bring my total for the trip to eight! Ugh! (more whining) The good news is that my tire changing skills are really improving.

So many blessing, so much fun, and your support. Life is indeed good.
