Well today it is time to move from Breckenridge to Crested Butte. We decided not to ride today and instead do some disc golf. There is a course just outside of Breck that Steve and Micki play at when they are there.
We packed up camp making sure not to leave anything behind. One last trip down the super bumpy road back to town.
At the disc golf course Andy shows off his professional disc skills by winging the frisbee a super long distances. Steve was also able to throw it pretty far, but Andy out threw us all. The rest of us had to make one to two more throws just to get where his first throw landed. The course was fun and fast. There used to be more trees on the course, but they had a problem with bark beatles.
Once done with frisbee golf we headed to Silverthorne where we did some outlet shopping. Here we found some nice riding items at the Pearl Izumi store. Andy and I both got a riding vest and I got some shorts.
On our way to Crested Butte we went through and old mining town called Leadville. It reminded us of Bisbee in a way. With all the small mining shacks and the old buildings. We also went up through Cottonwood Pass. Very pretty, but it started to rain half way up. Some spots were a little hairy since there were no guard rails. At the top of pass was the Continental Divide, 12000 Feet! Very pretty drive.
Once we were close to our camp site we see a flashing sign that says "Cows in Road" we were like, "what the heck... why would there be cows in the road".... but as soon as we turned the corner... Holy COW... there were tons of cows. They mostly stayed out of the road but still, there had to have a couple hundred cows walking up the road... and they just kept coming and coming. Very strange site.
We set up camp had some dinner and then just relaxed. Tomorrow we go into Crested Butte to ride 401 Trail. Should be a fun time!
