Neil checked in today about 11 a.m. and lunchtime, from Gunnison, CO, already covering 33 miles this morning. Yesterday it took 7 hours to get to Monarch Pass at 11, 312 feet. The views were great! (See hills of gold attached) Downhill to Sargents is where they spent the night. No cell phone access there. They rented a cabin at an RV place which was good because it got cold enough to freeze their water bottles nearly solid last night. Both are doing well and enjoying the journey. Tonight they may be staying in a forest service campground somewhere along the Gunnison Reservoir. Its a huge, long reservoir that runs over 20 miles next to highway 50 through the mountains. Quite a sight. Who knows, Neil may talk Mel into going for a sail!

I'm so happy to hear they made it to Monarch Pass. They look happy and strong. Love to hear all about their adventure. I'm Mel's sister down in Mesa Arizona. My husband and I have done quit a bit of bike riding and know much it hurts to go 100 miles. I feel for them. Hang in there.Nancy
We are loving the updates the fun stories! Keep them coming and good luck!
Scott and Lenna Hiatt
