Cheyenne was a great stop on my way across the nation. I was able to hangout and visit my stepbrother Kelly and his family. It was a bummer leaving but on August 25 I did departed for Denver in the rain. Fortunately, It cleared up about 20 miles south of the WY-CO border so majority of the remaining ride for that day was dry with the exception of a couple additional afternoon showers. Long story short I arrived in Denver that same day(113 miles) and had a blast hanging out with Kevin ad Heather, Jankee, Mike and his girlfriend(Colleen?? I think that's how it is spelled), and cousin Kate for the week I was in town.
I took very little pictures while in Denver, but for those who don't live there, and/or have never been, it is the flagstaff, AZ of metropolis's. It is awesome, laid back, and a sweet place to be with incredible seasons.
Yes! A sign for Denver!!!!
Rolling into Downtown Denver at sunset. I barely got to my friend Jankee's place before dark.
Time for a new wheel. The old one told me it needed to retire in Denver, settle down, in the garbage.
Yogi! My new best friend! Sorry P-Tuck, this guy's pretty awesome.
Heather! Kevin sneezed and ruined your masterpiece. It was super fun with you on your Birthday Kevin!
What do you think? Too much stuff to carry across the USA? If you thinking this is too much, I have mailed home and thrown away plenty along the way. This is just the essentials I carry in my panniers, not including my camping gear( tent, sleeping bag, sleeping pad, tarp), hydration pack( w/tools), and five 1-Liter water bottles. Crazy huh!?
I have steered way from my original idea to this post, so look for more about "many miles- part II" in the next post.
