An untimely report from Colorado.

It's been a bit over a week since I rolled into Boulder.
The drive was fairly miserable, and it went a little something like this;

Day 1 = 3:00 p.m. -- 10:00 p.m.
= nap at New York ThruWay rest stop
= 12:00 a.m. -- 2:00 a.m.
= nap at New York ThruWay rest stop; 14 degrees outside when I woke up.
Day 2 = 5:00 a.m. -- 7:30 p.m.
= maybe two 1-hour naps in Ohio
Day 3 = 8:00 a.m. -- 9:00 a.m.
= breakfast at Grandma's Kitchen on I-80 near Davenport, Illinios
= 10:00 a.m. -- 11:30 p.m.
= rolled into Bolder shortly before midnight.

Never drive across the country. It's so boring.
If anyone every says that you should drive across the country, tell them you'll book a flight instead. And that they can pick you up at the airport after they do the drive alone.
Trust me.

However, Boulder is cool.
I think it's too early to give an official or formal critique, so I'll keep my fool mouth shut for now.

The last two Tuesdays have seen the VeloNews staff go to the Boulder Indoor Cycling Center during lunch time. Riding track, while a bit boring while you're going slow, becomes quite fun at higher speeds.

Roger Dogder. Over and out.
