First, sorry for starting and then dropping off the face of the earth. .. I was on a tour.

In my case you will notice that I was entirely overloaded. I was not just bike touring. I work in Kansas and live in Salt Lake. As such, I am carrying stuff for my summer, not just cycle touring.

I left where I work and rode a couple hundred miles, basically north, where I intersected with the American Bicycle Association route and followed Route 7 to Pueblo and Route 6 through the Rockies, over Hooser Pass, until got to Kremmling, CO.


elevation 11,539 feet

At Kremmling I turned West at 40, off the Cycle Assocation Map, and went over Rabbit Ears Summit. I thee rode into Steamboat Springs, CO and on to Craig CO.


In general, I rode about eighty miles per day. Unfortunately, due to family issues, I needed to shut the vacation a bit short. In Craig CO I rented a van and drove the rest of the way to Salt Lake. So, I was out for a full eleven days and no, I never plugged in at all.
