Hoosier Pass!

Dillon Reservoir
Breckenridge

Highest point on the trip- 11,539 feet!
bike path on the side of the road
Fairplay- right next to South Park

We bike our highest point on the trip today, Hoosier Pass. Since my dad is driving along with us for the week, we don't have to carry our gear which is awesome & feels incredible to be light riding! The first ten miles were awkward because we have had to drag along the dead bodies for so long- but it was glorious! We were amazed at our ability to climb the mountains, Hoosier Pass didn't take that long at all given the huge elevation gain, & the only thing that hurt was our lungs since the air is so thin up here. Biking through the Rockies is phenomenal- we knew Colorado was going to be better! We're looking forward to some more natural beauty throughout Colorado & again when we get into the Tetons.
