I did about 75 miles and rode to Salida, CO. The ride was really cool, and not too much climbing. Plus the descent into Salida was pretty awesome. I lost about 3,000 feet in about 10 miles, and I got some fantastic views of some 14ers in the distance. I stayed at a hostel that was a really great deal. Cheaper than some of the campsites I have stayed at. I met another guy who was doing the divide. He was a little more into it than me. He had quit his job, and sold his car. Once he got to Mexico he was going to keep going south. I also met a lady named Treehugger, and a guy from California who was doing some Mountain Biking and on a "Vision Quest." I'll let you decide what exactly that means, but judging from his odor it probably required a lot of weed. I probably should have stayed up and played cards, but it was 10:30 and I was ready for bed.
vision quest! yes! hey, looks like the hair has grown a lot since day 1. is it weird that i wrote that? oh well, it's been said.
