Day 7 of Colorado Ride-2011

The storm still lingered this morning as I packed up camp and had breakfast. It rained for the first twenty miles as I headed west. Stopped in Ranson for lunch supplies and was invited to church by the locals. Had to pass as the wind was still blowing my way. I met some young fellows near Shields riding from Colorado to Missouri. They are raising money for a youth camp. We traded road tales and they gave me some water and a cookie from a Boulder store. The cookie was very tasty. My goal for the day was Healy. The local church is open for cyclists so spent the night on the floor and rested in peace.
