Last night in CO. Tomorrow I'll hit Utah! Tomorrow will likely be
long, there isn't much in the way of settlement in eastern Utah. I'll
also be on the interstate for the first time legally. 

Today was fairly unremarkable. I've left the ACA route, so no more
easy maps. I really wish I had my laptop back, I miss having elevation
profiles. I'm entering the desert basically, so I need to start
carrying more water now. 

I did manage to make pretty good time today despite headwinds. I felt
like I was in fast mode for most of the day. I blame thicker air and
proper nutrition (well, better, at least). 

I feel like this trip is winding down. It isn't really, I still have
about three weeks left. I hope this doesn't mean I'll start wanter it
to be over sooner. 

My freewheel has been acting up recently too. It doesn't freewheel
sometimes. This is kinda annoying, but livable. And it was fine for
most of today. I may get it replaced next rest day. My rear tire could
also use replacement.
