Montrose -> Palisade

I have half a mind to change the name of this tour from the "Bluegrass Bicycle Tour" to the "Bluegrass and Diner Bicycle Tour" or simply the BAD Tour. It has a nice ring to it and gets us to the event of the day.

We spend the night stealth camping by the river in Montrose very near the Target which you can see if you click on the picture and blow it up in size. We looked at the skies which were still not cooperating and decided we'd have to ditch the plans to bike the Uncompahgre Plateau on the Divide Road and simply stick to the highways (550 and 50) to get to Palisade. We're calling this the Beeline Option or Bad Weather Alternative. Maybe we can still get the Divide road on the way back to Telluride.

So we stop in at the Eatery Breakfast joint in Delta and order coffee and cinnamon bun which the menu says they are famous for. Holy Moly. This cinnamon bun was completely out of control!!! We did our best to make it disappear, but both of us were unsuccessful. This is destined to be a regular stop on the BBT.
