Day 17 Tuesday, June 23 Grand Junction CO to Montrose CO 70 miles
Weather was sunny and hot. Today we rode through a section for about 50 miles where we joined in with 2,000 other riders biking the Colorado tour. It was great to see so many riders. The group I was with did a pretty good job passing 85 % of the riders. That goes to show how strong we're getting after riding for 2 weeks. With a fair amount of climbing and a headwind for the last 20 miles we were glad to reach the hotel. A group of us went to the Black Canyon which was an awesome place to view. It was a miniature Grand Canyon. The van shuttled us there, however; my roommate decided to bike 15 miles there and 15 miles back up some pretty steep grades. I don't have the same energy he has. We had a good meal at the Red Barn and it's time to get some rest and get ready for some more climbs tomorrow.
