Leaving Guffey was leaving the past.
This early start was cool and wind free so the miles were comfortable and went by quickly. I was beginning the see the mountains in the distance that would be under my wheels later in the day.
The passing rain shower passed right over and dropped rain, I got wet.
I stopped and had breakfast in Hartsel, CO. at a wonderful small town cafe/bar. Dave and D came in and sat next to my table, D is one of a five group of over seventy rider on the TransAM. This is. His rest day so he is in the crew car with Dave bring the gear to their sleep stop in FairPlay.
I am riding to Breckinridge to stay at a Warmshowers hosted by Tim so the next miles would be slow as I climb to 11,542 feet elevation over Hoosier Pass.
