August 11th
Got going around 8:00 and headed up through the valley. Ran on lots of gravel roads through the rolling foot hills of the Rockies which was all cattle country. Later in the day we finally came to a road leading up into the mountains. It took us up to over 11,000 ft. and we found a rocky trail going farther up the mt. Being the adventure riders we are we headed up. We managed to climb up to 11,900 ft till it got to steep for our bikes in the high altitude. There was a storm brewing in the west so we thought it best to get down off the mountain and as we came down in to Breckenridge, CO it was dumping rain down up on the mountain tops. Rolled on to Dilion, CO and then up past Kremmling, CO to a national forest campground on top of the mountain which was 9,000 ft in elevation and very cold.
I threw up a bunch more pictures up.

About 20 years ago I rode my bicycle up from Idaho Springs toward Mount Evans, the highest road in the USA. It was too early, May, so the road was closed and I only got to 11,000 feet. Try pedaling your bikes to 11,000.
thats alright, I prefer my motorcycle. =)
