Day 48 Enders NE to Holyoke CO
Last night we had a storm front move through with thunder, lightning, hale and heavy rain. Glad not to be in a tent.

On the way into Imperial, about ten miles into the ride, I saw some trains with great graffiti.
Once again there was road construction with traffic down to one lane. One of the workers told me it wasn’t for a long distance and suggested cutting through town to get around it. I’d rather see the neighborhood than highway 6 anyway.

When I rejoined US6 it had turned north and there was a bit of a headwind.
The route was mostly westerly and generally had a crosswind to occasional quartering tailwind. Overall a good ride.
We’re staying at the RV park at Phillips County Fairgrounds. I went to the laundromat and Peter brought home some delicious tacos from Happy Jacks BBQ restaurant. The smoked brisket was to die for. And I’m not a big meat eater.
We think we may have a solution to accommodations when we get to Fort Collins in a few days. It’s 4th of July weekend and everywhere has been booked for months. Peter found a cabin where we can store the trailer for 3 days. I need to get my bike looked at. I think I need a new chain and cassette. Life is good.
Today's ride: 48 miles (77 km)
Total: 1,873 miles (3,014 km)
