25 June 2018 – I got up
and strolled in to the breakfast room and had bite to eat. I then
loaded my motorcycle, check out of the hotel, and it was back on the
road for another day of riding. I followed my route like I laid out
last night. So, it will be more desert and mountains today. I don’t
know if we will have the temperature of yesterday, I hope not. I can
feel my butt aching already. So, I’m cruising along and then I
reach Interstate 70. I hang a right turn onto it and continue driving
east on Interstate 70 until I reach Grand Junction. I pick up Hwy. 50
heading toward Montrose. I was going to stop at Whitehorse or Delta
to stay the night, but every hotel I stopped at was filled up. It was
depressing because I was tired and sore. One of the hotel people said
it had something to do with a bicycle race or ride. That explains why
I’m seeing all these bicycle riders. Most everyone on that ride was
going to be stopping the night in those two towns for the night, so
all the hotel rooms were taken.
I continued on to Montrose
and found a hotel for the night. It’s a repeat of yesterday. Unload
the bags, check the motorcycle over, cover it up and plan the next
day’s route. Tomorrow's route is pretty easy. Just follow Hwy 50 to
Canon City, Colorado and find a hotel. Judging from the map it should
be an easy day of riding. That’s ok with me!
