After 3 days with no solid food, it seems to be the time to start out again, slowly, using Rice Crispy Treats for fuel. This was an easier ride than you would think, with the 1st 45 miles going downhill along the Arkansas River, and lots of put-ins for whitewater rafting, then a steep climb up to Royal Gorge. This is a spectacular tourist trap which includes the world's highest suspension bridge, 1053feet above the river. We rode our bikes across the planks and could see the river through the gaps right under our wheels. Goodbye Rockies.
