Day Three - We are here

Starting Mileage: 72083
Ending Mileage: 72228
Total miles for the day: 145

Left Colorado Springs at 5:30 to meet a cousin for breakfast in Denver and wanted to miss rush hour traffic. Even early I did not enjoy the traffic. Temperature was about 54 degrees. A little cooler than Houston.

Met Bill and had a great visit. Left about 9:00 and headed on to Frisco. Climbed over 11,200 foot elevation and passed through the Eisenhower Tunnel,couple miles long and very impressive. Great highway and beautiful scenery.

Bike pulled very strongly on some pretty steep grades. Did not ever have to downshift. So, bike runs great at high altitude. Love this bike.

Met a lot of old friends and met some new ones. Spent about half of the day working as security for the vendor lot. Lot of activity all ready.

Time for this boy to get some sleep.
