Ø Day 20, we departed South Fork for Pueblo, Colorado, however we ended up spending the night in Colorado City; 26 miles shy of where we hoped to be. We crossed San Luis Pass with an elevation of 9,413 feet and a 6% grade. After yesterdays exhausting ride today’s pass, although shorter, still presented a challenge as even without the passes we are still at 7-8,000 feet elevation.

Ø Day 19, we departed Farmington for Alamosa, Colorado, a projected distance of 189 miles. We didn't make Alamosa, but stayed in South Fork, Colorado, roughly 70 miles short of our goal. The reason, 10,850 foot Wolf Creek Pass. 15 miles long, with grades ranging from 6-8%. After two weeks of traversing relative flat desert, riding at such altitude with that type of sustained grade beat the riders up pretty well.

Ø Day 18, we departed Gallup for Farmington, New Mexico, a distance of 129 miles. Due to the relatively flat terrain along the route we made the trip in just under 10 hours. When we arrived we did an interview with the Farmington newspaper.

Ø Day 17, we continued answering the emails that have come in over the last two days, gave 3 radio interviews, and began preparing for the trip north into Colorado.

Ø Day 16, due to the incredible response we got from the Yahoo story, we are staying in Gallup to get caught up. We received over 300 emails, and over 400,000 hits to our project website, which is now up to 525,000 total hits.
