I have done a lot of sitting at the computer today and am going to leave with Matt in just a few hours to go to a place where I can bike at just about 20 miles north of here. If I were to leave here and try and head north I would run into an interstate that I would have to ride about 10 miles through the mountains. I liked the idea of not having to ride through that area so I quickly jumped on the offer to get a ride up north a little ways. It has been an incredible stay so far in Colorado and I couldn't have asked for a better way to go out in Colorado than the way I that I did. I was given tours and all sorts of great hospitality. I can't wait to see what the rest of the road lays ahead, but I am going to miss Colorado and the incredible stays in the mountains. I was dropped off past the interstate and a little north of a town called Rifle,Co. I was thankful for Matt helping me so much with my trip and making it possivle for me to take a trip through Colorado. With the time at his house I was able to prepare myself and my bike for the journey ahead. I only rode about 8 miles north of where I was dropped off before it was dark and then it was time to set up camp. I laid the tent down in a nice spot just offside the road. Although it has been a little while since I've hopped on the bike, it felt good and i couldn't wait for the ride that laid ahed tommorrow.
