Wasn’t planning on going all the way to Breckenridge but I had battery left and a little energy. This is the closest I can get to the 11,000 + ft pass, so went for it. I do not like this town. It is more touristy than Jackson, WY. And motels start at 175. Unreal. So for the first time. I am staying in a hostel. I do not like hostels cause you have to share a room with 3 or 5 other people. Snorers and who knows what else. But the price was right. Can’t have it all.

There was a bike path all the way from Silverthorne to Breckenridge. Beautiful. No traffic and nice grades. Had to do a major switch back climb up to the top of the Dillon dam.

I was told the road tomorrow is typical CO narrow with no shoulders. 12 miles up and then down for a long time.

I spoke with another local yesterday, and he said that Willow Creek Fire burned 120,000 acres. 640 acres is a sq mile. 120,000 acres ÷ 640 (square mi) = 187.5 sq mi. That was a big fire.

Only two black bungy cords today. Total is 51.
