Day 32 – Another Day of Dodging Thunderstorms


We biked from Rand, CO to Kremmling, CO today; a 55.4 mile ride. I have a limited amount of storage on my bike so I must choose between bringing my digital camera or my rain gear.  There was some very scenic landscape along our route today so I packed my camera instead of my rain gear.  That was a mistake.

Similar to yesterday we were occasionally surrounded by dark storm clouds.  We watched the weather all day, quickly biking from one town to another hoping we would not get caught in a thunderstorm on the way.  At one point we took refuge under a bridge to avoid a passing rain.  Despite all the precipitation around us, we somehow once again avoided getting wet.  Not sure when our luck will run out, but I’ll take it while I can.

We started the day with a 1,000-foot climb and once again crossed the Continental Divide; at Willow Creek Pass, which is at an elevation of 9,683 feet.
