Got up early and rode 28 miles along the beautiful Blue Mesa banks to a tiny place called Cimmaron where we stopped and had our lunch.



Unfortunately the restaurant was shut and so we had to settle for microwaved sandwiches again! After a very steep 5 mile climb out of Cimmaron to Cerro Summit and then an awesome 15 mile downhill to the town of Montrose. There we found the best supermarket we have come across yet which had REAL food. Got some bree, french sticks, mangos and fruit corner yoghurts (which we found out later were actually fruit corner cottage cheese pots Doh! not happy). Rode 10 more miles to the RV park marked on our maps only to find that they wouldn't let us pitch our tent there. Fortunately there was another RV park 2 miles down the road in a place called Colona which would let us pitch our tent. Only problem was we had to pitch it on the gravel so as not to ruin the sprinkler system - took us about an hour to peg it down!
