Heading down, I pass a pond and a walkway over a river.
Climbing up a while, I start to gain views of ski runs and mountains.
Past a small creek, I see “100” in rocks. Can we already be more than 1/5 finished?
A big climb and then down again. Considering it is July 4, not many mountain bikes, maybe 30, and not so scary fast. Before long I can see the outskirts of Breckenridge.
Jackrabbit gets to the bus stop just a few minutes before the hourly free bus arrives to take us into downtown Breckenridge and our hostel. Goodcat is leaving on a bus as we arrive, just in town for the day. Flaps is our roommate in the triple, in a really fine hiker-oriented hostel with all amenities a hiker can appreciate, Fireside Inn.
Laundry, shower, and sharing a meal with trail friends. Wow.
No more guns or guards? Your account of 2-5 is not as exciting as your first day.
