The guys are in Dolores, Colorado, at an RV camp tonight, having traveled 63 miles today. They climbed up to the Lizard Head Pass at 10,222 feet, then downhill all the way along the Dolores River. They met up with a bicycle racer at the pass who rides up to the pass from the little town of Rico and back during his lunch hour every day, around 25 miles round trip. He was an interesting visit. He rode back down to Rico with the Gray Beards, who continued on to Dolores, a beautiful ride. They ate dinner with a guy named Chris from Mancos, Colorado. He was very interested in the "Long Haul Trucker" bike. Chris also rides a Surley. The picture is of the river which flows into a reservoir, and town from above. On Tuesday the ride to Monticello, a big uphill the last half of the day. They ran into a biker "John" from Holland. He has ridden cross country USA 5 times in organized groups and is going it alone this time. Seemed like a real nice guy. Tuesday midnight they received visitors from home at the Motel in Monticello. Pictures to be added later.
