Day 22, Pueblo to Lamar, CO 122 miles, W: 5-15 NE, Temp 58-92


Leaving Pueblo in the early morning








Day 22, There is nervous anticipation heading into this next leg of our journey. The long miles, heat and humidity of the mid-west will make this the toughest part of the trip. Leaving Pueblo and saying goodbye to the mountains in the early morning hours was sad. Today was the longest mileage day we will have on the trip. There weren’t many photo opportunities so it was put your head down and crank out the miles. We did pass a few feed lots which added some spice to the air. We have some people on the trip that have never experienced the sight and smell. Another long one tomorrow, more of the same.
Miles today: 122
Elevation gain: 649
