USA West 2020 Day 10 I roll out of camp excited to ride over Independence Pass, only to find out that the road is still closed and won’t open until noon or later. Well bollocks!. So, I ended up rolling back to Aspen, Colorado to see if there was another back route option that would take me towards Denver and I-70 more easterly, there was not. I ended up backtracking to Glenwood Springs, Colorado and rode east on I-70.

I did manage a nice little detour on US Highway 6 at Silverthorne, CO and was rewarded with some epic Colorado Scenery to an elevation of around 11,000 feet. Then it was back down the mountain to catch I-70 were I got snarled in some dead stop heavy traffic due to road construction and some ice cold rain….oh joy lol.

I rolled through Denver and 500+ miles to to days destination at Pillsbury Crossing, Kansas were I setup camp at about 3am. Kansas Interstate riding was mostly battling the strong crosswinds that made passing big rig trucks exciting to say the least lol. Today was a long grueling day of almost all interstate miles totaling 716 Miles.
