Oops. Here are some pictures from today.

Also, I have awful sunburn on my back. Every single person that told me to take sunblock, you were right and I was so very wrong.

  1. More technical questions:

    What are the roads like? Image 1 looks pretty glassy, Image 3 not so much...

    Any trouble with that (rough, unpaved or unkept roads) slowing you down?

  7. Hey Jake. The roads have so far been mostly fine. I've been riding mostly in the shoulder of paved roads (state highways and such). I have a pretty wide berth at most times, but sonmetimes the shoulder just completely disappears. Then I have to start riding on the road with big trucks and the like so I tend to be very careful then.

    In terms of unpaved roads, I haven't encountered all that many. However, when they do come around, I have to use the utmost caution. With 40-50 pounds of gear on the back of my bike, the tires tend to slip even more so than on an unloaded bike. It forces me to go a lot slower, especially on downhill unpaved roads.

  9. Hi Shahmeer! I sat next to you on the flight to Denver, one of the so-called 'lovely ladies.' I'm happy to read that you're well and that people are kind to you. You're such an affable guy that I'm sure that'll be the case along the way. Safe travels.

  10. Thanks for reading, Carol! The one thing I've learned is that Colorado is nothing like what we saw through the airplane window. It makes me cry to think that there's land that flat somewhere in this state. I want to be riding on that!

  11. Shami would you rather ride in southern California? You know you can fly out to San Diego and start riding north. I am sure that will be equally thrilling and not as killing. Think about it!
