It's tough to leave Telluride given it's magnificent location tucked in the mountains and small town atmosphere, and the guys certainly didn't want to leave, but they rolled out of town at noon after some more bike repairs in the morning. We'll be heading north on Route 145 and then make a couple of turns before reaching Montrose, CO, where we plan to stay tonight. If they're feeling strong, they may ride a few extra miles ahead, but given the late start and 60 miles to Montrose, it's probably not likely.
Update: Montrose it is. Tough headwinds on the way turned into a tail wind in Montrose and let them accelerate past cars after stop lights and cruise at 35 mph. The guys lunched at "True Grit" restaurant in Ridgway, a John Wayne themed eatery.

Telluride is B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!! I can see why you don't want to leave.
Sean - Dad set you guys up with a room tonight in Montrose. Enjoy a good night's rest on an actual bed, shower, wash clothes in a real washing machine, relax and enjoy.
Be Safe & Have Fun. Call when you can. xoxoxox
A third of the way, WOW! It's wonderful to see the beuatiful mountain pictures as I sit and roast in the 116 degree day here in Phoenix! What an accomplishment! Way to go guys!

Hi Guys,
Only 113 in Tucson today, so enjoy the cool where you are. Glad to hear that you got the hotel for the night. Very thoughtful of Sean's Dad to arrange.
Pat, your Mom say's to take your sunglasses off for some of the photos and to change your shirt. I am just the messenger!
