Another great day of riding. It started out with a southwest classic green chili breakfast burrito. Other places try to sell them but Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona are the only places that can make a really good green chili sauce. As soon as I saw it on the menu I decided to try eat green chili every day in Colorado.
The ride was uneventful. As we got further and further into Colorado the hills started and the mountains got bigger. We even had an afternoon thunderstorm that just barely missed us. It's good too be back and see nothing had changed in Colorado. Well that's not entirely true. Everything is green. Very green. Eastern Colorado in my mind is supposed to be a flat desert type place. This is the first time I can recall seeing sagebrush growing instead of just barely surviving.
We got to the city of pueblo which is the biggest city on the trail and its one of those cities with two faces. The eastern side is a rundown shithole where even the library has guardsand metal detectors. While the western side is a pristine American yuppie paradise. The whole thing is separated by a restored downtown and the river. We went to a friend of Jim's, Steve and Ina, that he knew from college when he lived in Colorado. We are going to be taking a zero here tomorrow.
