Sargents, CO

Today we reached Sargents, CO after biking 99 miles in the last two days. Today was much easier than yesterday, being mostly flat opposed to dealing with three summits. But tomorrow we push on, going over the ten mile long incline with a summit of 11,400 ft, marking the highest ascent in our trip, and crossing the continental divide. Meanwhile, back at our cabin, we met another cyclist, Ilia, who is riding offroad on the continental divide trail, (covering every peak in the Rockies). We are the first people he has seen in four days! Aside from that however the scenery is beautiful, filled with many animals such as prairie dogs, hummingbirds, red-winged blackbirds. The hills around us seem big, but nothing compared to the summit we face tomorrow!
