  • Eight cyclist - three groups happen to meet at the same convenient store
  • Karim & Darci hosing the gang in Saratoga, WY
  • The Colorado state line - it still looks like eastern Wyoming but the color comes later
  • Sunset from our city park campsite in Walden, CO
  • Crossing the Colorado River outside of Kremmling
  • On the way to Breckenridge, CO - the rockies looming large
  • A separate bike trail along Dillon Reservoir near Frisco, CO
  • A great hostel in Breckenridge
  • Beautiful meadow outside of Breckenridge, CO
  • Happy to be at the highest pass with our friends Gay & Sam
  • Ximena & Kevin still catching their breath on Hoosier Pass
  • The eastern side of the Rocky Mountains
  • The final climb out of Hartsel, CO
  • The three amigos at Guffy's Garage
  • A step back in time - 1880's gold mining assay office - Yes we actually slept here
  • Our personal rustic outhouse
  • The bunks in Guffy's rustic cabin
  • Sam in the kitchen of the rustic cabin

We continue to meet lots of cyclist touring all over the country on so many different routes. We were happy to enter Colorado, our 5th state. Steady climbing brought us to the trendy ski resort town of Breckenridge. After a nice night at the Bivouac, a bunk bed style hostel for hikers and cyclists, we started the ten mile climb to the top of Hoosier Pass (at 11,539 feet, the highest point on the route). Spectacular views all around and a fun descent. It is very hard to describe our night in Guffy, CO. For $15 per person we stayed in an 1880's gold assayer's office. No bathroom, water, electricity, but lots of character. A memorable night that we wouldn't trade! Until next time.....
