Left nathrop and made for Alma on mainly sealed Rd. This was a bit of my route but I wanted to have a go at getting up mnt bross said to be the highest drivable peak in Colorado
Had a coffee in the old town of Alma who’s main claim is that it is the highest certified town in the USA at 3200 m
The ride up mnt bross was great and not overly difficult bar the last 300m to the summit which had staggering views in all directions .. the ride down required more effort that the ride up due to the countless zigging and zagging
Had a late lunch in Fair play and got talking to a couple on adv bikes ,his a 690 KTM and hers a Dr 650 he had all the clim gear and shoei helmets and sidi boots and she was wearing leotards and trainers with a cloth jacket and to make things worse she was carrying all the gear including an eski on the Dr .I did point out the discrepancy
I’m camping at the trail head to Webster and red cone pass and have been advised to take Webster due to the conditions of red cone by the forest ranger so it’s off to montazuma in the morning
I have done 4300km todate and averaging almost 400km a day and now I’m going to cook my can of beef stew and boil a cup of coffee
