South Park

I started my ride over in Hartsel today. The front runners in the Tour Divide should pass through here in the next day or two. I headed south towards Canon City and then decided to swing over to Guffey. Not much in Guffey but there was a nice little cafe that had all kindsa baked goods. Too bad I did not have my credit card with me. I got in 80 miles in 5 hours and feel pretty good.

This is heading back towards Hartsel. I was hoping to see some new stuff and get away from some of the climbing around here but...I climbed. Somewhere in this pic Boreas Pass looms in the snowcapped areas. The racers will go over that as they leave Breckenridge.

I ran into an interesting older gentlemen today. This was his ride. He started in the first part of May on the east coast and is headed to Oregon. He was super nice. He's raising money for Vetdogs. This is an organization that provides service dogs to assist wounded veterans.

This is headed towards Cripple Creek and it's Casinos on the way out.

Saw lots of deer and antelope today.
