Well, today I did not do much riding. I left Lamar, Colorado, Heading west on US Highway 50; also know as the “Santa Fe Trail”. Slowly the terrain changed for the plains of Colorado into the mountains, and canyons of Colorado. I was just enjoying the ride when I saw a sign that said, “Royal Gorge turn left”, so I did. Wow, I am sure glad that I did. I do not think I have every seen anything like this. It turns out this is the location of the Worlds Highest Suspension Bridge. It crosses the Royal Gorge over the Arkansas River at 1053 ft above sea level. Talk about breathtaking views.
I may not have been the first Spyder rider to get 50,000 miles. I am sure I am the first to cross the world’s highest suspension bridge, on my Spyder not once, but twice. The south entrance to the park was closed. Therefore, I had to double back. While crossing the second time I met a nice couple from San Diego who took my picture on the bridge.
Tonight, I am Salida, Colorado. This is a very nice small town in a small valley, between all the mountains. All the people are very friendly.
