Once again, a day beyond description. Really.
It’s tough to keep telling you all how each day is more beautiful or better than the previous, but it really feels that way. It’s not all the time, there are plenty of long boring stretches of road, but days like today.. Wow!
We started the day on the hunt for something called the million dollar highway. A deadly stretch of road with spectacular views. That part was true. The part where we read that the deadly part of the road was on the Outside if you are going north was total bullshit. Sheer cliffs were literally inches off the pavement. It was pretty hairy at times too, especially when making a pass..or at least attempting to. The elevation was +10000 feet and the bikes were struggling. We were over 10000 feet at least 3 times today and surprisingly the weather was awesome! This was a beautiful and technical start to the day.
Later we saw how baby tar snakes get made..that’s gotta be a rare sight. Kinda like seeing a baby whale shark. You ever seen one?
The day was full of beauty, so much so that my brain’s memory card is full and I mentally deleted the last hour or 3 of the afternoon. Wow Colorado is amazing.
