Stayed in a nice camp ground in Chama and headed for del Norte Into a state park where my attempt to get up Bennett peak started Going up a very steep single track which zig zagged what felt like the side of a cliff and required absolute attention it occurred to me that 1 small error would be the end of my ride and when the zigging and zagging finished it got worse , the track turned into extremely Rocky narrow steep climb after dropping the bike twice and not making much progress I decided to retreat which in itself was more terrifieng than going up and having to walk it down in a lot of places
After about 2 hours I was back on the valley floor safe but buggered. Another lesson learned Took the standard route to Del Norte fueled up and now camping up a valley somewhere in Colorado and heading for Sargent’s in the morning
