Ordway - Pueblo, Kansas
54 miles
4 hours and 13 minutes in the saddle
25.4 mph max speed
12.7 mph average speed
Today we started our ride by catching our first glimpse of the Rockies in the far distance. In 2 days we will be climbing up to 11,400' to cross over the Hoosier Pass. It seems almost unreal that we will be doing such a big climb after having spent the last week cycling on flat lands of Kansas.
Today we have had a short ride since our legs were feeling tired from yesterday's long ride. We try to keep moving, rather than taking rest days.
Pueblo is a city of 102,000 people and it is good to re-join civilisation after so many days in the middle of nowhere. Yesterday some tumble weed blew across the road and almost got caught in Mette's wheel. It really was just like one of those old western's where you expect some cowboy to come riding over the hill.

Mette, please email or call if you're going to pass through Boise. We'd love to see you. Ken
