This was a very cruisy 87km ride in flat country with sunny skies and a slight tail wind. So easy it was over and done before lunchtime. So what to do in Ordway for an afternoon? How about meeting some locals? Carol the motel owner, Mike the texas ranch hand, Bill the barman, Cal the Sherrif, Ed the asparagus grower. We met them all and did our best to find out the local gossip and not get arrested. There used to be 120 farmers in the district, now there are less than 20 as most sold their water rights off to the local municipalities for more than their farms were worth. We also rode past our fifth prison (correctional institution) since we started in Colorado. And it aint marijuana possession as it has been legal here for 2 years. A swim in the lake Harry was a chnace to display our white, shrivling bodies. Time to eat more. An excellent day at 9/10.
