We wake amidst the disaster of our slightly less damp gear and shuffled down the hall for a good old hotel breakfast. Peter promises to eat two waffles and actually pulls it off while Steve and I eat twice as much as most everyone else. With breakfast accomplished we pack up and head up the hill to town only to find that the bike store Cycles of Life doesn’t open till 10. Not big deal, we hit up the local coffee shop and easily pass the time. As 10 rolls around we are at the bike shop, eager to get my bike booked in. The shop is AMAZING, not only do they make my bike a priority they also sell me a new front break at a truly awesome price. Just over 2 hours and $100 later we are in our way (but not before pizza with our trail friend from the second day).
The ride from Leadville is exactly the type of ride we needed after yesterday’s suffer fest. It’s beautiful single track with rideable climbs, epic views and fast sweeping downhill. We even make it to camp around 5pm, this is such a strange concept we are actually at a loss of what to do with all our hours before dark.
