This morning was an earlier than normal wake up time at 4:55. I wanted to get an early start on that really steep uphill out of Golden before I got too hot. Once up the bugs were so bad I went to the nearby seven eleven to finish getting ready.
Two people had some trouble today. Laura crashed and got a real bad bruise on her hip. She might need to ride in the truck for the next few days.
Ken had his stem crack after trying to maneuver around a bump in the rode. His bike is a little older but he contacted a local bike shop and they are confident they can fix it.
Despite the issues all riders had a very pleasant day. Most felt that the whole day they were riding up hill. That was my felling as well.
A group of us stopped in Field for s break. It is a little town surrounded by mountains. It reminded me of living in Kemano, BC.
The scenery all day was very beautiful. Hugh mountains with rock peaks, raging rivers following beside the roads, and green lakes. Awesome.
We also crossed the continental divide and we are no longer in BC.
Today is short and a flat day and I'm hoping on resting my legs and taking on the sites.
