July 5th - Spruce Creek hike & Keystone Recovery ride
















On July 5th we slept in a bit, both exhausted from the previous day's Firecracker 50 race. After breakfast we went headed about 3 miles south of Breckenridge to the Spruce Creek Trail where we saw wonderful wildflowers. The trail was beautiful - and just what we needed to flush all of the lead out of our legs.

In the afternoon we returned to camp to read and take naps. In the early evening, we braved the rain and overcast sky to take our final ride in Colorado. It was cold, as you can tell by our riding clothes.

We went for a short recovery ride on bike path that connects many of the ski towns. We rode from the Lake Dillon area to Keystone Ski Resort. The ride followed the Snake River for most of the way. Simply beautiful! We returned to camp and Rob cooked dinner under a tarp because the rain just wouldn't quit! Early to bed, as we planned to wake at 4am to pack up and head home.
