Fun Fun On The GDMBR

We had to make a quick trip home, but we are back, riding the GDMBR, the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route!  So far, it has been mostly up and more up, at least that is the way it seems!

At the base of Rabbit Ears Pass.  We biked home and then
took a taxi back to our leaving off place

We started the second stage of our grand adventure at Strawberry Park Hot Springs.  From there, we took the Hot Springs Cut Over to the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route.

Cycling to Radium Hot Springs

The route climbs from Clark, Colorado, over some spectacular terrain.

You need to know where you are going in this area.  We found rout-finding very difficult.  Usually, we followed bicycle tire tracks, but on this rocky surface, it was often a huge challenge.

I love getting away from the crowds.  This hot spring is a magical spot!  These kinds of unknown springs are the perfect place to find tranquility and spirituality in nature. 

Bicycle adventuring is about discovering new places, new things.  Ways to get away from the din of business life, of the cities, of crazy people, and just have time to nurture.

You can go an amazing distance on a bicycle if you try.  Just pedal away, with a far distant goal, and one day, you will ride right up to that distant place.  The secret is putting one pedal after the other, keep it going, even when it is wet and cold.
