Kremmling

A rest day / drying day in Kremmlings today as the rain etc has finally caught us.
Had a cool ride from Lynx Pass yesterday includng a 2,000ft descent to Radium and a wicked descent to Kremmlings (72kmph). On the same section some others in the crew were doing 10kmph into a huge squall! Managed to dodge thunder squalls till when we put up the tents, doh! Apart from the threatening weather the riding was quite good on a good surface.
Enchiladas for dinner, expect to have more of this as we get further south.

Radium is down there somewhere















Steamboat Springs - Lynx Pass
After a huge breakfast by Johnny's neigbour Barabara we headed off for Lynx pass. Initially a road section with some thunder/rain by nice and warm. Then off road but nice riding in great scenery. Got a bit tedious towards then end (should check my map better for expected distances I think) but got there in the end and was well shagged for it. But chook soup does wonders.



Slater Park - Steamboat Springs
An auspiscious start when the Bristols decided to make an early start, then went the wrong way. No worries as they caught us up at the Morrison Pass. Met some Bow shooters (BlackwidowBows.com I think) after Elk etc who gave us some coffee and let us fire off a few arrows (or is that bolts?), pretty cool. The ascent was only 6km but was a real push up to the pass, but an awesome descent (rocky & fast) to Clark for a late lunch. Prob the best store that we've come across I think.
Then into Steamboat along the road.
Got invited to camp on Johnny & Gigi's back lawn which was really appreciated. A really nice couple. Had a rest day there as well for laundry, groceries etc, and a nice Hot Pool session at night.
Great place.






















Aspen Valley - Slater Park CG
'Aspen alley' was quite nice despite the leaves still being on the tree's and not yet yellow. A very short section tho but worthy of some photo's.
Fast road section for 20km then back off road to the Slater park dispersed campsite.
Nice uptulating riding with plenty of small snakes (dead and alive) to weave around.


Rawlins - Aspen Valley
Boring road section then off road and steep on gravel, bit of a slog. After lunch it was just big tiring rollercoaster type riding. Nice to be into the Aspens tho as they make it nice and cool, as well as looking nice. Btw, each Aspen stand is actually sourced from a single 'tree'.
