Cloud Country

Kansas was windy.

The tail wind lasted for maybe 20 miles of Kansas. The entire rest of the 250 miles was full of muffled speech and tilted bikers as we leaned into the wind to stay upright. Wasn't a completely enjoyable time but made everyone a much stronger rider. Colorado couldn't come soon enough.

Tonight we're staying in the fresh air Colorodo town of Rocky Ford. Tomorrow we will be camping out on a ranch in Pueblo and catching views of starlit skies uninterrupted by artificial lights. Colorado springs will end our 9 consecutive days on the bike. I think we're all looking forward to some time off the saddle and some time pumping nails through 2x4's.
