The mountains are all behind us

Wake to bike horn sheep wandering around our campground. They blend in with the rocks; except for their white butts. Continue down through the canyon until we leave the river and head up. Only 800 feet or so bit but takes us back over 6000 for awhile. Got a plateau and then go screaming down into Canon City; another cute little city. Stock up on food and make our way out of town on a lovely bike path. Wind hits hard as we pedal east. Lots of rollers but finally make it to Lake Pueblo State Park. Another nice cycle path to our campground. Set up and take a very quick dip in the reservoir (no showers). Wind is howling! Tod everything down, huddle behind tent and somehow manage to make and eat dinner.Read more
