Ok so here I am on another continental divide pass this time in colorado! Rode 79 miles today in very hot sunshine over the pass and then downhill into kremmling. The scenery was fantastic in places and a videos part of the ride for facebook. Checked into a cheap hotel to get a wash and rest up ready for the biggest climb on the tour tomorrow at Hoosier pass. The
Camelback I bought yesterday was a mistake as it leaks and is like riding with four bags of sugar on my back..ill probably ditch it...and get another two bottles to put in my panniers.
Tonight here the sky is heavy with rain and its humid. I'm trying to avoid another huge ice cream!
On the ride today a lady in a parked car gave me fresh cold nectarins..just the job for a thirsty cyclist and I thank her!

Ian a little concerned about my left knee..its painful and another steep climb on a heavy loaded bike isn't what it needs right now. I guess ill see if it is up to the job or not soon.

Thanks to all for the comments and e mails :)
