Limon to Colorado Springs!

Today we again woke up a bit later then normal. Not something good by any means. We packed up as quickly as possible and hit the road. Yet again we were unlucky and had a horrible head wind the whole way. This head wind was so mean that we actually had to peddle down a hill. Now who wants to do that, going down hill is suppose to be a break. So we continued on the lovely rolling hills and as we got closer the traffic started to get more and more. We are still lucky and have people honk and wave at us giving us their support and well being! At least they see us on the road, that is about all we can ask for! So we rolled into a little town called Calahan to eat lunch at a little place called Taste Buds. The food was quite good and we enjoyed some good converstation with our server and the cook. This other older guy started talking to us and we did not know whether he was trying to scare us or be informative in his own weird way. So from lunch we had about 28 miles left until Colorado Springs. The ride in was pretty good, we had more downhill and less hills. We then got to our location. We are staying with my Aunt Sues friend from college. Jerry and his wife Gayle have been very kind to us! Upon arrival we took showers and had a nice little rest. Once Jerry was done with his staining of his back patio he was so nice and took us on a car tour to the Garden of the Gods, Balancing Rock and on Gold Camp Road. Gold Camp Road is this really cool winding dirt road through the mountains! It was a lot of fun and places we would not have been able to see if he did not take us there. From there we stopped and picked up some Chinease food and brought it back to eat. The dinner was great. To end the night we sat on the patio and shared stories along with showing them our route the rest of the way! Thank you so much Jerry and Gayle for having us! Thank you to everyone else out there for supporting us. We are about to hit the rockies so wish us luck!
