Days 32-35: A Pre-Planned Stop in Breckenridge, CO
On day 32, I met my wife at Denver International Airport. We enjoyed lunch with Coast Guard friends, Ginnie and Michael, before taking a shuttle to Breckenridge.
Our hotel was at 9,600 feet. While I had acclimated to the altitude, it took my wife some time to adjust. We enjoyed spending time together at local restaurants and shops. We observed some of the Breckenridge 4th of July parade. Through it all, I think that I convinced her that I was doing fine as a cross-country cyclist. She was surprised at how much weight I’ve lost.
Here’s a shot of us on Main Street in Breckenridge:
Day 36 puts me back on the bicycle and climbing my last major pass in the Rockies.
Awesome–you both look great! Aloha,
Manson – I’m really enjoying following your adventure. Hope you guys had a great 4th!
Best,
Steve
Well deserved rest!
“Fair roads and following winds” ☺ classmate! Keep up the good work! Kent
You both look fantastic! Be safe!
What a great mission you are on. Enjoying every word of your journey. My heart is beating right along with you. Continue to “Lean forward”. 🙂
It was great to see you both. Hoping the Breckenridge fire is not affecting your ride. Air quality is bad across the Front Range. This is a time when wishing you “fair winds” has different meaning. Safe travels. Stay strong.
Looking good, bro. Stay strong! (And I’m glad you got some rest.)
