I’m kind of drunk and so full of food that I might literally die. That being said, I do not feel like writing about my amazing day. I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves. Stay tuned for the next, and hopefully more verbose, edition of James and his Bike!
The Daily Grind
Day 76 – 75 Miles
Lander, WY to Dubois, WY Total Miles: 4392 I slept so good last night and not just because I had been cycling my ass off on only 4ish hours of sleep the previous two day. The park we camped at had the softest, most fluffy grass ever and it almost felt like a real bed […]
Day 75 – 60 Miles
Jeffery City, WY to Lander, WY Total Miles: 4317 I don’t know why I continue to do this to myself. Some kind of subconscious, self-inflicted penance I’m subjecting myself to for all the wrongs I’ve done throughout my life? Lack of self control? The say-yes-to-everything attitude I’ve acquired over the years? All of the above?! […]
Day 74 – 70 Miles
Rawlins, WY to Jeffery City, WY Total Miles: 4257 Last night Gene, Terry, Sebastian and I went to a restaurant/bar/liquor store/laundromat to get some beer and the biggest steaks we could find. I didn’t have high hopes of finding a great steak at a place where you can eat, order a beer and do your […]
Day 73 – 60 Miles
Riverside, WY to Rawlins, WY Total Miles: 4187 This is gonna be a short one because the scenery was rather bland and I’m a fucking rocket ship. This morning we got a real treat! Instead of waking up at the usual 5:00 we got to sleep in till 6:00! I know, right?!?! We’re out of […]
Day 72 – 90 Miles
Middle of Nowhere, CO to Riverside, WY Total Miles: 4127 I woke up this morning at 5:00 and, I mean it this time, seriously considered just staying there in my tent and not getting up until the sun finally peaked over the mountains. I thought I had been cold yesterday and the day before but, […]
Day 71 – 75 Miles
Silverthorne, CO to Middle of Nowhere, CO Total Miles: 4037 We woke up this morning at 5:00 to be on the road by 6:00. It. Was. Fucking. Cold. I put on all the shirts that I had, threw my rain jacket over the top, I even wore my water proof socks as weird looking mittens […]
Day 70 – 50 Miles
FairPlay, CO to Silverthorne, CO Total Miles: 3962 I woke up this morning feeling particularly refreshed and ready to tackle some mountains! We grabbed some free breakfast from the hotel and set out into the morning and holy shit was it cold! The first 5 miles or so into the city of Alma were almost […]
Day 69 – 67 Miles
Canon City, CO to FairPlay, CO Total Miles: 3912 I woke up this morning at 5:00 and holy shit was it cold. I laid there, warm in my sleeping bag for a good 10 minutes trying to mentally prepare myself for getting up. Once I got my cycling gear on, got out of the tent […]
Day 68 – 60 Miles
Pueblo, CO to Canon City, CO Total Miles: 3845 Seeing as how yesterday was a rest day and we could sleep in for a change, we decided to take advantage of a Saturday night in a new city. We went to this brew pub to get some food and beer and I noticed that they […]
