Lizard Head Pass

Yesterday I did not ride with Dana and Lisa from Dolores to the campground near Rico, CO because I needed to move things from our RV to Fran's since yesterday was the day for Steve to head back home to Oregon.  I will certainly miss him and the "luxury" of having our own RV to stay in.  However, it will be fun to be in with Dana and Fran.  I was sorry to miss the ride as I know from making the drive that it was spectacular and not difficult, and that it would have been great to see it from the slowness of a bike.

Today we rode over Lizard Head Pass via Telluride to Placerville.  This was an amazingly easy climb to 10,222 feet.  The descent was somewhat marred by the poor condition of the road and the traffic.  Also, there was a bit more difficult climb of a few hundred feet shortly after we climbed Lizard Head Pass.  All in all this was a very easy day.  We had time in the afternoon to drive back to Telluride, spend a bit of time wandering around, and riding the gondola.
