Tough day....85 miles of smoke, traffic and getting lost on bike trails. Due to fires Interstate 70 is closed in Glenwood Canyon. So...I had to ride 33 miles on a two lane road some without shoulders with all the diverted Interstate traffic....quite nerve wreaking to say the least. Interesting picture of the overflow area of one of the dams I rode across...looked like a giant waterslide to me and if there had been more water I would have gone down it. Rode through high desert plain with lots of sage as well as 2,500+ feet of climbing to get to Breckenridge where I am staying tonight. Mini-version of the Eiffel Tower in Breckenridge seemed appropriate given it's made from bike wheels. Tomorrow's ride starts with a 11 mile climb out of Breckenridge to the top of Hoosier Pass...at 11,500+ feet the highest point I will ride on the trip. Can't wait for the climb!!!
