Recpath to Keystone

Yesterday we tried to recover from our 27 mile bike ride by riding around in the Jeep and eating a fine dinner in Breckenridge.

Blue River Plaza in Breckenridge.

When we got our campsite on Monday, it was available through the weekend but we thought we should just pay for four days and then decide what we would do over the weekend.  Since we needed to rest our bodies, we explored some of the other campgrounds near Frisco.  Almost all the sites at each campground were reserved for Sept 11-13 because of the Octoberfest in Breckenridge and the Fall Fest in Frisco. Then when we got back to our site, it had been reserved for Sept 11-13!  Now what will we do??

This morning, bright and early, I walked over to the campground host’s site to see if any other site might be available for us to move to.  I must be one of the luckiest people on earth - maybe I should have bought a lottery ticket today - because the folks who had reserved our site had cancelled the reservation!  I immediately paid for three more days!

To celebrate our luck, John suggested that we ride the ‘short’ and ‘easier’ bike trail up to Keystone. Short turned out to be almost 22 miles round trip and easier if you don’t mind up and down as opposed to just up!  But it was a warm, sunny, beautiful day and the ride around Dillon Lake took my mind off the tired legs.  Keystone is closing down until the first snow fall so not much going on.
