Yes, that best describes our day today. Flat, empty, long, but at least it was not a bad wind. Indeed, we have been rather 'lucky' in the last two days, with more of a tail wind than anything else. It is amazing what a difference a good tail wind makes, compared to trying to stay on the road with a side wind or riding against a head wind.
We did 90+ miles today and we are in Eads, Colorado. We made two milestones today: The Mountain Time Zone, and the state of Colorado!!
Dan and I have had some fun riding together...even though there has not been much to see. It's been great to have the company and the conversation...and every now and then we run into other bikers - some going in the opposite direction, some going the same direction.
I even gave Dan a good scare -- were riding past one of the few houses we've seen, and he was well in front of me (with no rearview mirror)...and I start to bark..and get closer...and he thinks it's a dog that he can not outrun! The faster he pedals the closer the 'dog' is getting. Not until I was on his heels did he turn and realize it was me.. :)
