7-8 Wednesday

Frisco, CO to Hot Sulphur Spring, CO - 74.5 miles

Woke up to an incredible setting. Just off a loake surrounded by mountains, how could you ask for more?

The bike paths around here are great, smooth and scenic, but confusing, and needless to say we missed our turn towards Silvertown and ended up going 5 miles out of our way.


Luckily a really cool maintenance worker was there and gaves us the heads up. I felt like I was in France during the Tour riding along the coast as we rode along the Dillon Reservoir, Green Mountain Reservoir, along the Colorado River, and through Byers Canyon.
Arrived in Hot Sulphur Springs where the first thing we did, as usual, was down a milkshake from the Dari-Delite. The mosquitoes were the worst yet! You can't leave any skin exposed as 1,000 will flock to that spot. I've spent mannny summers in Minnesota and i've never seen anything like this.
