We're on our way...day 3 (and 4!) of our 7 day tour...
June 24, 2008
65 miles
Montrose to Telluride
Just about everything today. We leave Montrose with the breathtaking beauty of the “American Alps” in the distance. Getting back into the mountains we climb up 8,970' Dallas Divide. At the summit wildflowers cover the roadside. After the descent down the divide we climb up into the mining town turned ski town, Telluride.
Oh, and we'll be in Telluride all day tomorrow...yes, even we get an "off" day!
Take a break! in the
picturesque ski village of Telluride: Coloradans' most desired mountain
get away. Hey, you deserve it! However, if you want more cycling in the
Rockies, get on your bike and climb to the top of Lizard Head pass and
on into Rico and then cycle back to Telluride. BTC cyclists can cycle
an additional 80 miles.
