Following an afternoon with more climbing than expected, we rolled into Buena Vista around 5:15. Today was full of through hikers, we met three after only seeing one over the first few days. We also had our first encounter with horses, right before lunch.
Anyways, the bike shop in Buena Vista replaced Brian's shifter, bled Isaac's brakes, and put in Isaac's spare brake pads in the front. The place was called the Trailhead, and if you are ever in Buena Vista and need biking or camping stuff, it is a must stop. While the bikes were being fixed, we walked over to the Lariat (aka the Rope) for burgers and a beer. We settled into the motel after picking up our bikes. As we are about to spend three days in the middle of nowhere, we stocked up on food at the grocery store next door. We've got a lot of food and it looks pretty heavy. Tomorrow is going to be rough. BTW, while the motel might not be the most modest in price, it is definitely the most modest in amenities.
