An early start from the campground and a few miles to Silverthorne and Dillon where we had breakfast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I decided to revise my packing situation so a quick trip to REI solved that problem. Now I have extra volume so I can add some variety to lunches, including crisps (chips)!!! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We picked up the bike path alongside Dillon Reservoir, through Frisco and all the way to Breckenridge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We stopped for a beer, lunch and supplies in Breckenridge and then set off for a 10 mile climb up Boreas Pass to 11,482ft and some stunning views!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Downhill all the way to Selkirk Campground, our destination for the night. A very secluded campground with one other group, three Brits who gave us some beers! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The campground was picturesque and I thought, if I was a bear, this would be a perfect place to hangout. No bear lockers at this campground so Bob, who bizarrely had a pulley and line with him, devised a system where we could hang food from a tree. We didn\u2019t get enough height but it\u2019s the thought that counts. At least the chipmunks couldn\u2019t get to it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had quite the lightning show in the night. Fortunately it wasn\u2019t close enough to cause problems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today we rode 44 miles and 3,346ft of climbing. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
