A Tiny Little Ride

Saturday

Miles traveled 18: cycle time 2:00
As planned, I made no effort to extend myself and rode the bike trail from Silverthorne to Breckenridge. This area is obviously as vacation center of increasing importance, the mountain sides are replete with ski trails, there is a beautiful lake, a rejuvinated river for fishing, and a maze of cycle trails.

Today as I sauntered up the trail I was greeted, literally, by hundreds of cyclists flying down. Turns out today is the day of the Triple-Bypass Ride where cyclists each cross three different passes. Almost got run over a couple of times. I have access to a computer and tried to move my pictures to my storage device but it wouldn't take.

I hope to get a good nights sleep because tomorrow its over the top - a ten mile 2,000 foot climb followed by forty miles of downhill. I will give it my very best and, if I can't make it, will hitch a ride with no lost honor. Getting down to tolerable altitude and more humid conditions will help me with the cold.
