Well I'm done Wyoming already. I crossed into Colorado yesterday afternoon. All of a sudden there were trees again, the wind was gone, and the hills were back. I've been told that in Wyoming you watch the mountains while in Colorado you ride them.
So I picked up a new tire and a new rear skewer (I bent my other one with the trailer) so I can ride these mountains.
I'm in Steamboat Springs right now. It's a very active town with tons of bikes (3 bike shops for a town of <10000) Every second car is a subaru hatchback with a bike rack, no joke. The riding for the next few days should be quite enjoyable as it is along bike paths and hard-pack gravel. I have acquired an appreciation for good gravel, as not all gravel roads are equal. The best is the hard-pack, dry enough that it's hard but moist enough that it's not dusty. The worst are the loose, big pieces of gravel, really dry, and with lots of traffic.
Well my time is up on this computer and I am very hungry
