Monday morning began with a downpour in Denver, CO. Around 11am it began to clear up so I got on the road. The I-25 north out of Denver was bumper to bumper traffic cruising at 80-85mph. Teri was right, Denver does have some of the worst drivers around. I didn’t want to think that, but after spending a few hours on the road with them I can agree. I used to think Miami was the worst, but Denver has now gone to the number one slot. Phoenix has bad drivers as well, but it just didn’t compare.

The miles went by quickly until I got into Wyoming and some hellacious crosswinds starting north of Cheyenne. I took a break in Wheatland, WY and had my first Taco John’s in over a year. That Super Potato was delicious!

North of Wheatland I turned east and rode on small highways until crossing the border into South Dakota. I rode through the Black Hills from Edgemont north through Custer, Hill City, then by Sheridan and Pactola Lakes on the way to the Azevedo home northwest of Rapid City.

Today I’m heading into town to get clear face shield so I can ride at night (if necessary). Mine is sitting in my garage in AZ. Ooops.

I’ll be in Rapid City until Wednesday when I head north to Harvey, ND for my Grandmother’s 90th birthday and family reunion.

Wyoming!

This is where I stopped because a bee got into my sleeve and stung me.

South Dakota!
