TOP: There's a place I know where the hipsters go, called Bedrock, twitch, twitch (who's old enough to remember that little dittie?)
2nd: Looking downstream in the Dolores river valley
3rd: Ben hammering the downhill. OK, so he's a ballpeen hammer...
4th: One of the many rock formation along the canyon walls. This one was a really cool cave.

The pm team switched off at the start of the dolores river valley, and what a run we had. No mountains for us!

The road meandered alongside the river for about 100 miles, almost always just a slight downhill, and after about 20 or so miles we picked up a tailwind also. Conditions could not have been more perfect for a bike ride. Nearing the end of the canyon, the road dipped significantly and it was time for the fat man to take the helm. I topped out at 52mph and was basically about 50mph for 10 minutes. What a way to chew up the mileage in a hurry! We had to get to Grand Junction, where a great meal awaited us at our friend's house.
