even had a breakfast of quiche and pull apart bread ready for us. Joe then drove us back to the fire station to start with our bikes. We quickly got onto Colorado Hwy 9 to go over Housier Pass. Our first stop was Alma. It was a cute town that we should have spent more time in. At Alma the bike path we were on disappeared and we biked 8 miles with no shoulder as we climbed 2000 feet to 11,542 feet. Traffic was not good. It was an accomplishment to get there safely. Our reward for the ascent was a 10 mile descent and a great breakfast at the Blue Moose in Breckenridge. We got to spend time in the beautiful setting of Breckinridge. In Frisco we got a on a great bike path along a reservoir that people were using for paddle boarding, canoeing, sailing, fishing, and boating. It makes the area very appealling. Construction was hot and heavy everywhere. In Silverthorne we restocked at Target and got an offer from a lady to house us over night. We kept riding as we needed to get miles in after a day off. On our last miles of the day we tried to get more refreshments at the Master Bait and Tackle Shop. It was not open! We have been boiling water for refreshment at Forest Service campground. The group had a refreshing birthday suit swim and enjoyed the great sunset and the miiky way was also observed in the small hours...
