Today we had another relatively easy day. We rode from Placerville (about 10 miles north - I think; with all if tge twists in the mountain roads I sometimes confuse what direction we're going! - of Telluride to Montrose, Colorado. We rode over one pass, but, like Lizard Pass yesterday, the climb was fairly gradual and not at all difficult. The road between Placerville and Ridgeway was smooth with large shoulders, and the descent was magnificent! We had a tailwind for much of the ride, and the weather was great.
On the way up the mountain I ran into some other biking tourists. They were from Santa Barbara and were also heading to Montrose for the night. We spent some time talking at the summit and took each other's pictures. It was a nice interlude.
Tomorrow is a rest day for us. We're planning on driving to the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park.
