Brilliant blue skies, sunshine, and 60 degrees made for ideal cycling as we headed out for the Continental Divide, a nice downhill past Lake Roberts and through the pines and then the uphill that wouldn’t stop. I felt like the little engine who could…I was not getting off my bike on those 10-12% grades. What a joy to see that Sag stop at the top of the climb, but the hills weren’t over as we headed the next 20 miles to Pinas Altos.
I recommend the GABA bike tours – they are well organized with great support, full of fun-loving outdoor types, and it’s always a joy to ride your bike through beautiful and scenic country. Check it out http://www.bikegaba.org/
