I got started rather late today. I bought some patch kits from wal-mart because they didn't have the tubes I needed. When I was packing up in the morning I saw that both the patch kits I bought were missing something so I had to go back and return them. I got out of Pueblo around 10:30 am. I made pretty good time going towards Canon City even with some fairly decent hills. Half way to Canon City it started sprinkling and I saw lightning in the distance. I took cover for a couple minutes thinking it might pour but it stopped shortly after. I saw in the distance that it was storming so I hauled ass to find a hotel for the night. Around here it's about $30 to camp out and I didn't want to pay that to sit in a tent during a storm. I got to a small town a few miles outside of Canon City and got a cheap hotel room shortly after it started raining. The rain has stopped for now but it is still storming in the distance and I didn't want to make the climb in this weather, especially since it will be clear the next few days. I have time to rest now and will also be able to pick up some tubes at the bike shop in Canon City.
everybody i talk to thinks i'm talking about you riding a motorcycle. then i'm like, no no no no, a bicycle! and they're pretty impressed. it's always awesome to talk to you and feel free to drop in on me whenever you get back in the states.
