Hey Everybody!
Today I decide I would take a rest day in Pueblo because I rode 115 miles yesterday and I need to get some supplies before going up into the Rockies. I went to the mall and found a sports authority. I needed to get a long sleeve riding shirt because it will be cold up in the mountains. It was a nice day of walking around the mall and looking at different things even though I could not buy anything. It was a pretty uneventful day and I just relaxed for the majority of the day. I went through my bags to sent home some stuff because I dont want to carry the extra weight through the mountains. I found about 6 pounds of stuff and sent it home. Hopefully this will help out a little bit. Well tomorrow the real fun begins. I am about 30 miles from the base of the mountains and they are pretty scary looking. It is going to be a rough couple of days to Hoosiers Pass which is the highest point on the trip at 11,542 feet and my first crossing of the continental divide.
