Day 4 July 21. Maybell to Wolford lake 120 miles. Rode up the yampa river valley to steamboat springs. Enjoyed a3000y swim and soak in the mineral hot springs. Then headed up rabbit ears pass 9400 feet a hard climb arrived at wolford at dusk.
Day 5 july 22. Wolford to estes park 100 miles. Feeling good and recovered made up a day by going thru rocky mountain national park at over 12000 feet. Just kept a steady pace all the up. Saw elk grazing near the summit. The descent was the hardest keeping the bike speed under control.
After 2 big mileage days we got a hotel so we don't have unpack and pack up in the morning.

When I went over the Continental Divide on a motorcycle, the road had been freshly plowed after an avalanche . . . cozy, warm dive bar on the other side . . . .
