GDMBR day 37 – Monday, August 21, 2023

Total miles – 1403.20 Total ascent- 90,595

A relatively easier day, low miles and not much climbing.

The taller mountain is Hahns Peak, 10,774’

We are staying at a KOA right outside town. Sarah, Jen, Alison and myself are sharing a cabin. That’s right, Alison is back with a mended shoulder and a new and different bike. A Salsa Timberjack like I have.

Our home for the night
We visited Orange Peel Bicycle Shop

In a stroke of good luck and a leap of faith, in 2005 Orange Peel was able to move into one of Steamboat’s most iconic—and weird—buildings, a one-of-a-kind DIY job built by Moots founder Kent Eriksen around a 30-foot-tall, cone-shaped sawdust incinerator from a local lumber mill and a repurposed ski lift tower.

Tonight we are going out for beers and grub.

    Yay for Alison being back! Loved yesterday’s post. Enjoy the grub. Hope it’s yummy.

    The smoke has come. But today was ok.

    Chopin and I are curled up on the couch reading your blog.

    Keep riding well and posting.

    What a beautiful looking KOA! Almost as nice as our new home La Maison Verte! We understand that we have YOU to thank for Erika bringing over a coffee maker (along with the MANY other wonderful things she brought to ease the transition). Thank you!
