After Sunday night’s rain, we woke Monday morning to blue skies and the lush forest alive from the moisture.  Drying our kit while we made coffee and ate breakfast, we were all looking forward to starting the ride with the long descent into Copper Mountain ski resort.  We would not be disappointed.

For the better part of the next 15 miles the single-track rolled and turned, up and over, around and down.  Narrow trails kept us rolling quickly, over bridges, around boulders and through the rich green canopy of aspens.  It just doesn’t get more sublime than this!

Eventually we began crossing the ski runs at Copper Mountain before we joined the Ten Mile bike path towards Frisco.  A right hand turn and we were back on the dirt; Peak’s Trail is a mix of single- and double-track climbing its way to the next ski town on our adventure, Breckenridge.  There, we stopped at the Safeway for provisions then on to Empire Burger for lunch.  Our bellies full and smiles wide, we were back on the bikes, climbing and climbing the roads out of town.  Despite having such a full stomach, I was feeling good and enjoying the time on the road.

A mix of dirt roads and single-track, we finally arrived at our forth pass of the trip, Boreas Pass, elevation 11,482′.  There, we sat about taking in the views, laying in the grass and checking out the various buildings that remain from the days when the trains crossed this high mountain pass. This spot was also the beginning of my first ever ride in Colorado a couple years ago, so I knew the fun we were about to have!

Turning off the dirt road, we flew down the narrow single-track of Gold Dust Trail.  It was tremendous, better than I remembered!  Not wanting to complete the descent and arrive in the open expanses surrounding the town of Como, we found a spot to camp in the woods, near a creek and not too far from the remnants of long-deserted log homesteads.  After dinner, someone suggested we go for a walk and scout the first part of the trail we’d identified on our map.  WOW, what a stroke of genius luck that was!

As we walked we found more and more downed trees blocking the trail.  Looked as though very high winds had come through this seemingly neglected/under-serviced section of trail.  Many would have meant very cumbersome detours in the dense forest.  Not knowing how many of these obstacles we’d encounter, we decided it better to backtrack in the morning and rejoin the Gold Dust Trail into Como.  With thoughts of day three in mind, we were all soon fast asleep under a brilliant starry sky.  Life is good.
