Day 25 Steamboat Springs, CO to Breckenridge, CO third century ride and Rabbit Ears Pass:)

So today we woke up at 5:30 and had our breakfast.  We met up with the Rodgers family again.  Bruce rode today but Layton didnt.  We also met up with Dustin who is a pro cyclist that works for KRG.

Today we knew was going to be a rough day as it was 105 miles of riding and we were going to be riding through Rabbit Ears Pass. It was a nice 11 or so miles up a 6-8% grade.  We did pretty good even if it was a tough ride.  I was riding with Blake and Dave today and they pushed me a lot and we made it.

We had a scare at the end as there was lightning so we didnt know if we were going to get racked but we rode through the rain and got all the way to Breckenridge.

When we got in we showered at the local Rec Center and then we headed to Lodging.  Lodging is a cabin up at the top of a hill lol so there are beds and it is a nice place.

Bruce and KRG took us out to dinner tonight at this really nice restaurant. We had spaghetti and Lasagna.

After that we came back to the lodging and now I am writing this getting ready for tomorrow when we go through Loveland Pass which is the highest freeway pass in the US.  We will be cycling up to 11,990 feet tomorrow granted we are already at 9800 ft so we dont have much to go up but It will be a fun ride into Empire tomorrow

Have a great night

Peace, Love, and Bunnies
