A long day

I've been biking since 6:45 this morning. I got lost trying to navigate the bike paths in steamboat springs but eventually made it out. The weather has been amazing though; just as I was beginning the 8 mile climb to the top of Lynx Pass it started raining. Not too much, just enough to cool me off. And it stopped as I reached the top so I could enjoy lunch without a coat. The descent afterwards was unbelievable. After I forded a stream I hit the highway and coasted almost all the way to Kremmling, where I am writing from now. I hit 49 mph, a new record for my bike.
Colorado is a beautiful place. Full of great landscape and great people. Everyone still waves to me on the gravel roads and some campers last night even had me over for a beer. I ran across alot of mountain bikers today, many just going out for a ride before work. This may just be the state for me.
