Day 31, Over The Devide

Guffey only had one restaurant for breakfast and it opened later so I started the day without food. It was cold, frost on the ground. I set out to cross the Continental Divide (Hoosier Pass) at 11, 542 feet. The approach to the East side of the Pass has plains. The wind was blowing directly at me. It made the climb difficult.  I finally made it and continued on. I passed a wonderful ski town called Breckenridge.  I got on a bike path that went along rivers and lakes, over a dam. I had heard that there was a 11 mile stretch of road work with torn up rough highway ahead. I made a decision to get through it and rode into the late evening just before sunset. It made it a long 123 mile day. I ended at a antique hotel/hostel in Kremmling. It was a welcome sight.
