Another State Bites the Dust!

This morning we woke up and got our stuff together. It felt great to get a good night sleep in a climate controlled environment with really comfy beds. When we had everything in order we mosied on down to the amazing continental breakfast! They had waffles, cereal, fruit and even biscuts and gravy! It was awesome to not have to eat pop tarts for breakfast. When we were leaving Shelley was pulling up and we thanked her again and hit the road. We road into a slight head wind and but it was more pleasant than a nussance. The ride went pretty good although we had literally no shoulder to ride on but the white line. The road wasn't too heave with traffic so we managed to do alright. It was a good feeling to see the Colorado boarder sign. So once we hit the sign, we took our picture! Nebraska another state down, so we are on the the 10th state! The morning went well and we pulled into Sterling to grab a bite to eat. Chance also called Garmin to try and figure out what was wrong with our GPS. So after lunch we headed out and the temp was definentaly hotter then it was in the morning. We thought we had 38 miles to go but the sign said 35 so that is awesome!! The afternoon ride continued to go well and the rode was nice, not much traffic so it allowed us to not worry so much about having to ride the white line. This afternoon was the first afternoon that I was not tired and Chance was! So I tried to cheer him up to make it the last 20 miles. Finally we made it to our destination of Brush, CO. We stopped at the gas station, got some COLD water and COLD gatorade then hit up the library. So now we are at the library trying to finish our GPS. We will be leaving shortly to set up camp at a nice campsite we found for free!! Tomorrow we will head to Limon and hope to be in Colorado Springs by Wednesday! Thanks again for all your support and emails!
