For some odd reason we have another rest day tomorrow – probably because this is the last large town for the next 2 to 3 weeks and we need to get the bikes checked over. So bike servicing and last minute shopping.
After a very tough day yesterday, today was an 80km relatively flat ride into Pueblo. However with the regular navigator on car duty, the rabble managed to find a way to add another 10km to the ride “touring” Pueblo. They had all sorts of excuses but none worth boring you with here. This was a ride to let the legs recover from the monster day yesterday and the average speed testified to that. This is the end of 5 weeks of riding (half way by time) and in this period we have ridden just over 3,100km and climbed just over 24,000 vertical meters (close to 3 Mt Everest’s). All fairly useless information but hey it’s something to put on the CV.
