Day 34 - Eads, CO to Pueblo, CO - 112 mi

We awoke this morning thinking of traveling around 60 miles to our next destination - a fairly day easy to have our own July 4th celebration party in the middle of nowhere CO. Instead, the team awoke to a fairly windy day and as it turned out we had some tailwinds! As we were traveling through more of the CO desert, the wind was at our back and we had knocked out 60 miles by noon. The team morale was super high and everyone decided to bike the extra 50 miles to Pueblo for the 4th of July and to have a rest day tomorrow!!!


We are currently shacked up in a hotel room for the next two nights and everyone is excited to get some good sleep, really clean in the shower, and enjoy the largest city on our trip in Pueblo. Hopefully we will head down to the river walk and enjoy the firework show tonight, followed by some hardcore relaxing and maybe a few cold ones - they even have Fat Tire and many other types of New Belgium beer.

(check out the Rockies in the background! Our next hurdle...)

I have been trying to snag more photos of the team in action as we are biking to put on the blog for all of the readers out there to identify. Below are a few snapshots:

Enjoy while I hit up a rest night/day/night - I will try to post some sweet photos from our 4th of July celebration and Pueblo!
