HELLO!

Welcome back. Seven years after my first ride across the United States, I am doing it again.

This blog will document my trek.

Day 15 - Rodeo to Columbus (94.5 miles)

Big riding day today, 94 miles. Began the day with a 4 am coyote wake up call! The darkness of our location provided a spectacular display of the stars. Rode in a group today with a steady pace. SAG stops at miles 16, 47, & 68. I felt good after the ride, which I was happy about.

The Real Continental Divide at mile 24.

High desert scene, a lot of the same today

Historical marker at mile 29, commemorating Route 9, called the “Border Route” between Rodeo & Columbus.

The terrain today

Welcome to Columbus, glad to be here after a long day

Hole in the Wall BnB, our oasis for the next 2 nights. We’re camping in the back.
