Zac biked out of Canon City, CO a few miles and realized he needed to make some changes in the gearing(?) of his bike for the mountains. With the additional weight of the saddle bags and supplies, it was too difficult to continue. He returned to Canon City and has been staying there, waiting the bike shop to get the necessary parts. We have had a chance to send him his rain jacket and water pump and some lovin' while he was there.
Canon City (there is the squiggle over the first "n" but I do not know how to type that in) has a population of 16,000 and elevation of 6,000 ft.Cañon City was founded in 1859 during the Pikes Peak Gold Rush as a commercial center for miners. It is located on the Arkansas River and is a favorite for whitewater rafters and rock climbers.
We were hoping Zac could find a library and share some thoughts with us...
