Kiki Bikes Across America

Wednesday, July 8th – Westcliffe, CO to Salida, CO

I’m finally back on my bike after a long break with the viral infection and going up to Denver to have some fun. I started out at 9am this morning and had only a 53 mile ride ahead of me, so knew I had plenty of time. The ride was very scenic and not too hilly – a few hills, but overall downhill, I guess. But there was wind to make up for that… I had horrible headwinds for the last 15 miles into Salida – I was crawling at 5-6mph at some points… I thought the wind would never end. Finally, I reached Salida and came to the library to do some web-updating and post photos!!! I added a good number of Colorado photos (in their own album) from the other day when I was in Rocky Mountain National Park. I saw Elk and a chipmunk was really friendly – they’re all in the album as well.
