We've had a stellar day of riding today. First off in the morning, we ascended Georgia Pass, which tops out at 11,880 feet. This was our first time above the tree line and also included a cross of the Continental Divide. On the way down, we bumped into Dan (the through hiker from Iowa) one last time. The descent was fast and a bit rocky and rooty, but a lot of fun. We took a break for first lunch at a stream and cooked up some Mountain House chicken a la king and chicken and rice. After the break, we continued on segment 6 for some climbing, followed by a long, buff descent. It was a blast and I could have ridden that section all day. Towards the end of the segment, we bumped into a grad student from Denver University who asked us to take a quick survey. Turns out she works for the parks and recreation service, and the survey was to collect data about trail usage. Naturally, we voiced support for more mountain biking (she agreed, she bikes too). We made it to Frisco a little after 3 and took care of a few little things. Hungry for some grub, we are now at Pepino's for some lunner. Once we consume the food, we'll head out on the Tenmile bike path over to Copper Mountain for the night.
