7/14 Monticello to Dolores
It was a the day we would cross from Utah to Colorado. We made it.
Kayla got a flat with 10 miles to go, that's like 5 i think.
We replaced her tube and got going again. When we arrived into town, we saw an open bike shop. Nick had just opened it up a few weeks earlier and he didn't have much items for sale. He did have some tubes and some Chamois so we bought that. He also took a look at Kayla's derailleurs and brakes. He did some adjustments. I'm not sure how those turned out, I'll have to ask Kayla. Nick used to be a triathlete, it sounded like he thought he was pretty good; he kept mentioning his sponsorships. He also built stuff out of bike parts, like a spatula and chairs and random things.
As we were leaving his shop, another biker stopped by. He was older and seemed to have been all over the country on his bicycle. He told us about the terrain- like what we should expect and about the Katy trail.
Then, i looked at my bike and noticed that my tires were so worn that they had started to come apart. Unfortunately, Nick didn't have any tires for me.
We went to eat at the local restaurant. Ate pizza and played a card game with each other.
Dolores is a small town and we quickly found an rv park that had camping in the front lawn. Dolores felt like a quaint little mountain town. There were kids everywhere and they seemed to be having fun, it looked like a nice and fun place.
