Salida has Xtracycle Cargo Bikes!
It is a pretty town
They also have a mural of Andrea and I ❤
And white water rafting in their town, these folks were going back and forth practicing. I'm on a bridge.
The Simple Hostel I stayed at. Very nice, but definitely hot and smelly. Although, what do you expect when bunking in a room with 6 back packers fresh off trail and a dirty bikers?
The climb 1k foot out of Salida.
Fuck you too, sign.
The beginning of the 3k foot dirt climb
This was another pass that used to be narrow-gauge mountain railroad.
This climb was breathtaking...
... with aspen tunnels...
and amazing views.
That valley in the distance, you can see the paved road I turned off of, is where that asshole sign was. That's right, I pedal bikes and go distances!
That crater looking things is called the Devil's Armchair. The peak is just under 14 feet so no-one in Colorado gives a crap about it. The pass I climbeed went around it to the left.
Looking back near the top.
Crossing the CDT and Colorado Trail
Almost there!
Arrived!
That's right, I bike mountains. Y'all bike mountains? It's fun, lets do it together sometime.
This is where I get to drink! Don't let the tunnel fool you, it was nice and not sewage.
The views descending
Sargents is visable in the distant left.
Sargents!
I bought brownies in this old school!
View of Sargents from my campsite
Campsite views!
Oh look, Salida again. Good thing this app always posts the first photo last, I would forget where I just came from!
