Heading Back home
We had a nice visited with my uncle but it was time to leave its a long way back home.So we got up early and was on the road at 7 am. We made it all the way to Kansas City around 600 miles. We nearly ran out of gas twice. We were having to fill up every 60 miles. Our gas milage really drop. I think the gas had more ethanol in it.

Saturday
We rolled into my uncles at around noon.He looked good and was happy to see us.
While driveing up interstate 25 a truck with this windmill blade passed us. The blade must had been 200 feet long and the wide part of the blade was over my lane and shading me from the sun. It was odd feeling.
Uncle Jim took us up to Blackhawk for lunchdinner.

Friday
We spend the night in Raton New mexico. It was a neat little town surrounded by mesas all around. We started out around 9am heading toward colorado state line. After we corssed into colordao the road crossed a small mountain. Our bikes slowed down to about 65 MPH. They just would not go any faster.
These bike are really to small for a cross country trip.
We then rode to the Royal Gorge bridge. We rode across the bridge and visited the attractions.
We then headed over to Pikes Peak and was going to ride to the top. But the the 4pm rush hour traffic was to much. So we looked for a room and thought we would ride up then next day. Come to find out all the rooms are booked. There was some kind of running Marathon the next day up the mountain.So we headed north on 25 the traffic was stopped it took nearly and hour to go 8 miles. Finely we stated moving. Now we needed gas so we pulled off an exit that said gas station so we head down the country road till we came upon country store they had gas. We decided to sit on their bench and have a drink. The store was busy and lots of people talked to us. Everyone was getting pizza from this store.They all said it was the best pizza around. Here is the bench and the store at Larkspur Colorado
