Day 3 - Winter Park, CO to Delta, CO

Day 3 - Winter Park, CO to Delta, CO

We woke up to 29 degree temperatures this morning. The bikes were showing tell tale signs of the overnight lows. 

We departed Winter Park with temperatures around 36, but the group all agreed it felt warmer than the day before. 

Dave led the way out of Winter Park over Berthoud Pass.  We braved the ruts through the I-70 Tunnel and turned south onto the Top of the Rockies Byway. 

We stopped for breakfast in Leadville, home of Skijoring.

Breakfast at the Golden Burro was sponsored by Keith and Bob was "Two Back". 

Bob led the way up to Independence Pass and the Continental Divide. 

Lou, Gary, and Rich braved 6' deep melting snow to look over the edge. 

Lou gave the group a scenic tour of dead end streets in Aspen. 

We stopped for a group photo on our way to Delta. 

The pool was closed at the Days Inn. 

The "Best" restaurant in Delta was closed on Monday's so Dave phoned a friend who recommended The Stockyards. Lou self imposed a penalty for all the u-turns in Aspen. 

Carrie struggled with the Age Game, but was a good sport about it. 

Mark and Gary were picked as brothers. 

Total Daily Miles:  269 Miles.
