After a full day of rest, we left Glenwood Springs on a marvelous
bike path. Like the River Road out of Moab, we followed the Colorado
River up a narrow canyon. But this stretch was even more spectacular
that the River Road. Why? Because for sixteen miles we were on a
dedicated bike path through Glenwood Canyon. The path was mostly
concrete and ran right beside the river. The noise from the water
for most of the time drowned out any other noises. It was so scenic,
I was `almost' glad it was up hill, because it slowed our
pace through the picturesque canyon.

Shortly after the end of the bike path, we said good-bye to the
Colorado River, a river we have more or less followed since Blythe,
California, and began following the Eagle River.

Fellow Knickerbikers, Dan and Karen Ryan, have son Mike who owns and
operates a restaurant with his wife Chris, in Eagle, Colorado. We
had mentioned that we would try and stop by as we passed through
Eagle. Because knew nothing about the restaurant, we said that
mostly as a favour, but lunch was so scrumptious, it was us who
received the favour. If any of you are ever near Eagle, Colorado, I
whole heartedly recommend the Grand Avenue Grill.

Edwards, Colorado is a rapidly developing tourist town. We had
planed to spend the night there, and it certainly looked appealing
enough, but we arrived there at 2:00 PM, and felt we still had a few
more miles in us, so off we went to, and instead are resting in West
Vail, Colorado.

Tomorrow is the first of the two passes we must cycle over, but do
to our extra efforts; we are eleven miles closer and six hundred
feet higher up.

To date we have pedaled 1,132 miles and climbed 65,499 miles.
