A couple more things...

My youngest dear coz just flattered me by accompanying me to the Egg Shell for a quick last breakfast to celebrate our fast approaching adventures; he's off to University! I'm so proud of this young man! And I really appreciated being able to give him a proper farewell.

In other news: CO Highway 71 through the Pawnee National Grasslands looks to be too daunting of a 120 mile stretch as only one or possibly two bushes pretending to be trees can be seen sheepishly overlooking the pavement, and what do I know, there could be lions and tigers and bears oh my! and I certainly wouldn't be in Kansas anymore Toto and even more certainly would have no protection whatsoever from Tornados, dehydration, nor from starvation. Not to mention that going that rout would add a right angle to my journey which, as we all know, is not the most efficient way to travel. I think I'll stick to CO Hwy 6 which skirts Interstate 76.

I've now got my route from Denver to Julesburg, CO mapped and ready, complete with hotel options, campgrounds and bike shoppes along the way. Praying for friendly weather gods and forgiving leg muscles.
