Breckenridge, CO to Salida, CO

On Thursday I thankfully woke up indoors, but the the people that slept in tents woke up to a damp outdoors. Along the ride we had a few climbs but most of was down hill. 

Crossing the continental divide again. 

After lunch we had a short climb of about 1 mile but then unexpectedly had a 14 mile descent into a beautiful valley. 

Not sure where this was. 

During the descent. 

During the last 7 miles of the ride we started sprinting away from a thunderstorm approaching. We could see the clouds coming and could tell it would start raining soon. We made it just in time to the host but most others weren't so lucky. After the storm rolled through my friend and I explored town. There were a lot of nice shops to look through and some nice restaurants as well. 

Town of Salida. 

Pretty truck.
