Day 23 Duchesne to Dinosaur

Distance Biked Today:  94.4 miles

Time Spent Biking:  6:59

Avg Speed:  13.4 mph

Max speed: 32.9 mph

Total Distance Biked: 1338 miles

The road was very busy today. To make matters worse, there was a rumble strip in the middle of the shoulder, forcing us to bike on the white line. This made for a crowded road with cars and trucks on both sides of the road.

Today we crossed over into Colorado. Even though it is supposed to be colorful Colorado, it seems to be severely lacking color.

We road through a town (Vensas? I don't remember the name) but all the streets with just numbers. Typically in this situation, just the north-south or the east-west roads are numbered. But here the streets are numbered both ways. For instance I was standing at the corner of 500 w and 500 s at one point. This was very confusing.

Right towards the end we crossed into Colorado and ended in the city of Dinosaur.  In fact this area marks one of the four corners of Dinosaur Diamond, the area where Dinosaur bones are typically found.

The streets were even named after dinosaurs.
