The weather was just about perfect today, just a bit too windy but the right temperature for riding our bikes. This area has some wonderful bike trails that connect several towns. The trail connects Vail, Copper Mountain Ski Resort, Frisco, Dillon, Breckenridge Ski Resort, and Keystone Ski Resort. Eventually they will have a trail all the way around Lake Dillon. We went cross country from our campground to get to the bike trail because of new road construction. We then rode from Frisco to Dillon across the Dam and then up the "hill" to Keystone. The trail took us along the lake, past the marina and thru the wetlands natural area. We rode a short distance on the road before crossing the dam. We were in Dillon only a short distance before we headed up Hwy 6 to Keystone.
You would imagine that going UP to a ski area is all up hill but in this case there were several places where we went DOWN and then back up. What that meant to me was that it was going to be just as hard pedaling down from the ski area as it was going up to it. Keystone doesn't promote itself in the summer as much as places like Vail so it was pretty quiet. After lunch we napped on the park bench before heading home. It was a long ride. Our odometers showed that we rode almost 33 miles round trip.
