Day 106: Ordway (1,314m, 4,311ft)

With the sun on my back and the wind on the starboard bow, veering to the port bow and with outstanding vistas all around it was a most fantastic ride today.

Also, whilst stopping to take photographs along our route in Eastern Colorado, I became aware of the utter silence; no bird song, no grasshopper/cicada sounds, no wind induced noise, no anthropogenic noise: just total silence. It was a pleasure.

However, there was an abundance of wild flowers alongside the road, which contrasted well with the grassy, ploughed or desert like land beyond.

Oh, and then there is Ken on his Fat Bike, it does make a noise, one hell of a noise!
