Day 17, Grand Junction to Montrose, CO, 71 Miles, Hot and Windy


In the spirit of the Colorado Buffalos! Sculpture DT Grand Junction


A scuplture in DT Grand Junction, bet the artitist loves we climbed on his piece.





A good lunch after a long ride,

Day 17 was suppose to be a short, easy 70 mile ride! I don't think sooo! We were treated to stiff head winds and hot temps. The day started with a nice easy tour through the downtown area of Grand Junction and then a 10 mile ride on a nice bike path. The fun ended and the work began. 61 miles of gradual climbs and wind. Who's complaining, I am paying to do this! Lunch was at a great bakery in old downtown Montrose, it more then made up for the hard ride. Tomorrow we head to Gunnison. Get to start some big climbs, I love to climb.
