With the sun rising at our backs and the moon ahead of us,
we rode out of Dodge City, like so many cowpokes before us!
Without a doubt, this was the most pleasant day of riding, weather-wise. In the early morning
hours, we wore our jackets. The dampness
in the air and the cool temperatures made wearing one necessary and made us
quite comfortable.
A little more than 100 miles and we were in Colorado, and
Mountain Time…Picked up another hour! Although the road remained mostly straight, there was
By 3:00 we had put in over 300 miles and were at our hotel in Colorado Springs.
Since we arrived early enough, we took the
time to visit the Garden of the Gods Park.
A spectacular place with amazing rock formations. We rode through the park (Free admission) and
took in all the sights.

While there, we decided to have dinner at the Visitor
Center. Out on their patio, we marveled
in the splendor of our view of Pikes Peak and Pike National Forest. The center’s Café boasts a million-dollar
view…well worth the time.
Tomorrow…another item off the bucket list…Riding the bikes to the top
of Pikes Peak!
