Miles To Go: 2005

We had a nice visit with the Hardman's in Colorado Springs, enjoyed cereal for the first time in weeks, waited for Sean's new cell phone to arrive courtesy of FedEx, and then we headed back to Pueblo to continue the ride. In Pueblo we stopped at a bike shop to pick up some more spare tubes and tires since there is virtually nothing for the next three hundred miles in the way of bike shops. They continued the ride from central Pueblo starting at 2:00 PM and will ride to Sugar City, CO about sixty miles away on Route 96. They would like to go further, but with the late start and nothing for fifty miles past Sugar City, there's not much choice.

Update: We stayed at a small "city" park in Sugar City as it was nearly dark when the guys arrived, and the next town was twenty miles away.
