Day 54: August 28, 2024 - Rest Day

I began the day by taking advantage of the laundry in the hotel to rinse my clothes.  

I had breakfast at Jenny's Diner where I met several cyclists who are all riding the Great Divide Bike Route. Some of them I had met perviously, and some had met some other cyclists I had previously met.

A swim in the pool was a wonderfully refreshing treat. 

The real work of the day was refine my routes from here to Hoosier Pass and to book motels for my next five destinations. Once I get to Hoosier pass I will roll down the hill to Frisco, catch a bus to Denver, a train to Chicago, and a train to Carbondale, IL, at which point I will be back on my original route. I will then ride to and through the Blue Ridge mountains.

I had dinner at Cactus Jack’s.

It’s quite frustrating to use a keyboard with some of the keys not functioning. I won’t have a replacement until I get to Chicago.
