Day total 0! (most sedentary day of our trip so far and feeling pretty good about it, knowing that in a few days we will be at the base of the Rockies looking up).
But before the Rockies something completely different, a train. At 10:45 tonight Nik and I will take our places in our roommette aboard Amtrak. We will ride/sleep for ten hours and arrive in La Junta Colorado (540 miles total) tomorrow morning ready to face the Rockies. Our bikes are safely packed into bike boxes and loaded as cargo, many thanks to John Senior and Phil for helping us detach pedals and handle bars and pack them up. This is the farthest Nik and I have been from our bikes since we started our journey. Our bikes are stashed at Union Station (very impressive train station, with a majesty that reminds me of Grand Central Station (without the crowds or inherent aggression of everything native to New York City), and we are at Grinders eating Salad (woot) and digesting all the amazing pre-boarding craft beer we had at Cinder Block, a new craft brewery moments away. The moon is full, our spits are high ans we are off!
