Today was … rough.
The first 20 miles were fine. Uphill with a headwind, but eventually the wind became more of a cross-tail and we ground up the grade.
The next 10 miles were great. Downhill, with the wind, coasting the flats and small ups with two lanes on our side and a good shoulder.
The next 20 were awful, tons of traffic, fast and loud. It would have been bad enough without the blind lady. At one point I went to investigate a traffic jam ahead and wound up going 40 downhill with the wind.
We finally got off 287 and it didn't get much better. For a while it was quiet but then the road south was very trafficky and had minimal shoulder and enough rolls that cars stacked up behind us.
At least the RV park was away from I-80 and we were lulled to sleep by the Big Thompson (and not washed away).
