June 24,2009

Today’s ride took us from Blanding, UT to Leadville, CO by way of some great paved and unpaved roads through the Colorado mountains.  Temps ranged today from about 92 in Eastern UT to a low of 49 degrees at Cottonwood pass at an elevation of just over 19,200 feet and raining.

 

We ate lunch in Crested Butte at Café Ginger (Thai food) which was pretty good – but I am hungry again.  At least Leadville should have decent food and a BEER!

 

While I was showering and typing this up, Rick was playing online poker and peat the same guy 5 games in a row!  At 2$/game- Rick has almost paid for his trip.

 

About 200 miles of our ride today was dirt (but pretty easy dirt) and the last 20 miles was in a cold rain, so it was good to get to hotel.

 

That’s it for now.
