Day 3

101 miles 5007 feet climbed 15.8 avg

This morning we rode through the Colorado National Monument. If you are ever in western Colorado, this is a definite do not miss. Check out the pics!

We split up today. Mom did 80 miles and finished first. Dad did the whole ride but rode the second half by himself. After he stopped to rest. I caught on to a group of riders in a paceline (which if you are not a cyclist, is a long line all drafting each other.)

After the monument, it was an ok day, just a little monotonous scenery wise and very hot (97 degrees) with no sun and strong head and cross winds. I applied sunscreen twice and still got burnt in a few small places.

Wow, what a view! My request, slow down on the descents (Kyle). Keep up the great ride!
