Day 46: Scott City, KS to Sheridan Lake, CO (79 miles)
Neither of us slept particularly well last night: the room was hot and the leak in my air mattress has developed to the point where I need to inflate it at least three times during the night (hopefully...

Day 47: Sheridan Lake, CO to Ordway, CO (89 miles)
We slept really well in the church nursery. It was quiet and dark and the carpet under our sleeping mats gave us some extra cushioning!. This is particularly useful for Tom, who still hasn’t located...

Day 48: Ordway, CO to Peublo, CO (51 miles, total 2499)

A great day’s bike ride started with a great breakfast at the Fireside B&B where we’d spent our luxurious day off. There were a few dark clouds as we left, but they didn’t stop us enjoying what we...

Day 56: Hot Sulfur Springs, CO to Walden, CO (60 miles)
Tom and I both slept really well last night. I’m totally putting it down to a late-night soak in the hot springs: I’m convinced it soothed away all the little aches and pains and helped us snooze for...
