Day 41: Relaxing in Pueblo
I’ve been working on Mustaches, the Great American Novel. Nikola Tesla teleports to Mark Twain and they team up. I think Tesla’s dialogue is easier to write than twain’s. I’m warming up to it. I also drew a pic of Tesla with a steampunkish gun. Also attached is an attempt at an older twain.

Day 40: Pueblo
Distance: 87 avg: 12.8 I’m officially halfway through with my journey! Woohoo! And so I’m taking an extended rest here in Pueblo. Pueblo looks quite nice. I’m quite relieved, because I’m pretty tired of Colorado. Shitty weather and asshole drivers. I honestly don’t know why people live here, but I’m glad I don’t. Soon I…

Day 39: Guffy
Distance: 71 avg: 14 Kevin works at the post office in Breckenridge. ‘And I fucking hate it’, he says. He wants to quit and bike across the country. I tell him I’m having the time of my life and take a sip of my coffee. He looks at me searching, suspect of this bold remark.…

Day 38: Frisco
Distance: 45 avg: 11 The elevation here is 9200′, and the high today was 46. I wonder what this place is like in winter. Today was rather uneventful. Woke up, biked to Silverthorne. Bought some tubes at the bike shop. Fixed my tent pole at an outdoor store. Big thanks to Wilderness Sports for giving…

Day 37: Kremmling
Distance: 69 avg:12.8 The spot that I camped in last night was spectacular in it’s serenity. What really made it was when nature called in the night, I went outside and the stars were just stunning. Like nothing I’d ever seen before. If I wasn’t in my boxers I would’ve ogled longer. Making the decision…

Day 36: Walden
Distance: 61 avg: 10.6 Coloradoooo~~~!! Yep, Another state! Woohoo! Pretty nice. Today I woke up and said goodbye to Ben and Summer and headed out towards Walden. The scenery was very Wyoming, rolling hills, and the weather was good. I reached the Colorado border right after lunch. I also started watching the pretty spectacular weather…

Day 35: Saratoga and Riverside
Distance: 18 avg: 10 or so This was such an interesting day! I met a lot of interesting people and did so much that I didn’t have time to write. I walked out of my hotel and started towards Mom’s Kitchen across the street. I met Pater, a Dutch pharmacist on vacation and we had…

Day 34: Saratoga
Distance: 87 avg: 11.6 So yesterday’s post was mostly removed due to bugs in the wordpress for iPhone app. While the app is great when it works I have lost numerous posts and have had to rewrite them. Fucking pain. Today I did another long day. I woke up cow-free and headed over to Lamont…

Day 33: Muddy Gap
Distance: 88 avg: 12.7 I just looked outside and it turns out some longhorned steer have moseyed. They are staring at me. I originally felt pretty good about this spot but now I’m not sure if steer will attack. I think overall cattle are very docile, so I hope we can coexist.

Day 32: Lander again
Since I am doing what some might call an extreme midlife crisis maneuver, I figured I should go with the flow and try for The Great American Novel. I’ve been toying with this idea for a couple days. Edgar Allen Poe is a dark cultist with a zombie wife, bent upon mastering space and time.…
