Day 16 Green River, UT to Fruita, CO   90 miles and 3876 feet of climbing

It was another cool morning as we set out for Fruita, Colorado, 90 miles away.

We rode on Interstate 70 the entire way, and the miles seemed to go by quickly for the most part. 

We saw snow-covered mountains in the far distance to our right and beautiful rock formations to our left. The kind of rock formations you see in Canyonlands National Park, which is about 40 miles from here. 

The Brits had nine flats today. When I asked the support staff about this they said they find that when you have 5 or more riders riding together in a group on the highway, they tend to get more flats because the riders are grouped so tightly together and they tend to not see as much of the debris scattered on the side of the road. I guess that makes logical sense, but these guys are experienced riders. I suppose the caveat to that is that they are new to riding the Interstate highways of the US. 

We arrived in Fruita at about 1:30 pm this afternoon. I had lunch, took a shower, and then did some business emails and sent out contracts for some events this summer and fall.
Tomorrow we are off to Montrose, CO.
