Colorado Wilderness (’16 Road Trip Pt.2)

From Ontario, I took a two day pitstop in Michigan filled with home-cooked meals, then rode through smooth Iowan mountain biking trails at Sunderbruch Park, where I was invited to Burning Man. By night I endured Nebraskan thunderstorms and a Missouri river tornado from the discomfort of my driver seat and concrete shelter (camp bathroom). I visited the Omaha Zoo in the morning for a road trip refresh. I stuck to my route and stopped for a Runza, unfortunately missing the sandhills. Eventually I made it to Denver where I caught up with family and friends. Nice to be back in civilization. I then tested my Subaru’s limits up and over Rabbit Ears Pass, finally arriving in Steamboat Springs. The adventure was here.
