Up at 4:30 a.m.. Todd drove us to Silverthorne to recover my bike and trailer. Enroute to Suzie and Chris’s home, we saw, and followed a Moose that was wandering through their neighborhood. We went to the Wilderness outdoor store in Dillon to have a new tire installed, but that store had no repair facility. They directed us to Frisco, 5 miles up hill where Clay, the bike mechanic took care of us. Clay installed a new tire and we were off to Breckenridge, enroute to Hoosier Pass, our highest crossing of the Continental Divide at 11,500 feet.
As the hill got steeper and steeper, Gary from the Alzheimer group passed me as I was putting on my gym shoes, needing to walk up this long, high pass. I summitted the pass, glad to get to the top, and the rest of the Alz. Group summitted, extatic about their achievement. We took pictures, and then started our downward progress from the summit to a little town of Fair Play, which was formerly known as South Park. The town, and some of its residents, are the model for the HBO cartoon series, also called South Park. We camped in South Park with all four members of the Alz group, after participating with publicity pictures with the town’s mayor.
Total miles today: 41.
