We woke up around 7 and packed up camp. Turns out we slept 200 feet under the continental divide! Awesome surprise to wake up to.

The weather was on our side and we had a great ride down. The roads were a little rough but nothing too terrible. The scenery was awesome.

We arrived in Lake City around 3pm in a full on thunderstorm. Grabbed a beer and some late lunch to find out every single hotel was booked. We finally scored a cancellation got a cabin.

Lake City was awesome. It’s the only town in the entire county. There were more UTV’s than people. I tried to knock out some bike maintenance but the nut locking the chain adjuster wouldn’t come loose to tighten the new chain. I was getting frustrated and found some guys from Switzerland on KTM’s to see if they could help. One of the guys said the same problem happened to him and to put coins in the adjuster to tighten the chain. It worked!

Tomorrow we hit Engineer Pass to Ouray! Excited to ride the first pass.
