Yesterday, one snake and one bungy. Today, three snakes and one bungy. Total now 53.

Today is what I’d call a pitso day. Started out with the sun for a half hour, and then these low-lying foggy looking clouds moved in from all directions. (Forecast was for hot and sunny). I kept watching to see if it was going to get threatening, but it didn’t. Was cool, which was great until the last 10 miles when the cool turned into a very fine mist, and I got chilly. How weird. Didn’t get wet. Just damp. I felt like a wet rag. There were times I couldn’t see a half mile down the road. There were lots of trucks and a shoulder that came and went. I do not understand the roads and shoulders in CO. It just doesn’t make sense. I had my yellow rain covers on my panniers so I’d be as visible as possible, but it was spooky sometimes. You couldn’t call it overcast. It was just weird. And on top of that, I had headwinds the last 30 miles. Like I said, not a fun day. For some reason, days like this are really hard on my body.

In general, I feel really good. I wake up feeling ready to go. I have a great appetite and not losing weight. Darn! My aches and pains pretty much go away overnight. I’m sorta missing the hills. Flat is boring, and today was a perfect example. The view never changed.
