Hoosier Daddy

So today we awoke in Fairplay and began our ride at about 9. The climb to Hoosier pass, the highest point on the transamerica trail at around 11,500 feet, was gradual and not too bad, but my sea level lungs were struggling a little bit. The descent rocked though. For about 10 straight miles we cruised down switchbacks and mountain roads.
We then took a lunch break in the nice ski resort town of Breckenridge. From there we got to take a bike path, which was cool except its a lot more vague than specific streets. That being said, we took a sweet detour, four miles uphill, probably gaining about 1,000 unnecessary feet, BUT on this detour we saw a mountain goat, and a bunch of guys longboarding down the hill, some luging at mach 5 and others just crouching but still flying. When we realized we missed our turn it was four miles back down the hill, so all things considered, i would say the detour was worth it.
We had more trouble with the bike path in Frisco, due to poor directions on the map and numerous bike paths to follow. We finally made it to Silverthorne where we got chipotle and ended our bike path time. We got onto 9 and rode 40 miles in under 3 hours, even with a headwind and a few short stops, bringing us to our stopping point at Kremmling.

No ice cream today:(
