These would be images from the Bike path to Vail from Frisco Colorado. One part you go right along the Interstate and this is what I want since they apply interstate gradings route selection (straight). More of this should be applied.
Next up you see the many stream bridges you have to cross because the route doesn't go straight. Lastly you the bike route out of Frisco. When you come out of the MTs just ahead you will see Copper MT after passing though a valley.


First picture is to the south and the next picture is to the north.
Here I am ontop of the MT. I would have stayed longer but I was worried that they would see lightning and I would be stuck up here for a long period of time. These MTs are 12 or 14 thousand feet.

The last picture you see the cliff I was riding along.



This is Lions (something) just west of Vail. I think it is a part of the Vail complex.
There are connected at any rate. I am headed up the Gondola ride in one picture.
This is inside the complex and this is a dismount zone going through the tunnel.
Today I am headed into Vail which you see from the opposite side.

So I am in Vail as you know the whole place reminds me of Germany as this is what the buildings are. The peds friendly atmosphere in out of this world.
I went to Val bike tech to check out my bike and Dan tuned it up for free just needed some adjustment. He said "We will sponsor your tour". Yeah I have a sponsor.
So I am off feeling much better I stopped in. I found dome free camping and will stay in Vail for an extra day.
I saw a sign that said Eagle Bahn I think it is for skiing since bahn is road in Germany.

I here rain in the forecast so I am haning out in vail knowing I can duck into the parking garge. As a model how things should be done you park your car in the garage and the head into the city.
If politicans had some balls I think you would see more of Vail popping in a lot of towns. Shunning the car isn't hard to do. After a few painful moements people realize how idealic not having to listen, smell, or be inhibited by cross motors.
Time for lunch I have so many spots to choose from wow.

This out by point of rocks WY.
This mural was taken in Rock Springs I didn't get the whole thing.
Lastly outside Rawlins WY my camp site and this is BLM land notice how the road just enters BLM land rather than having to have an access point.




Here is Hobo pool or the Sarasota Hot springs and it is free and 115 degrees.
Fireworks at Point Of Rocks WY the longest fireworks show for the least amont of people 1.5 hours and only 12 people watching HA!
Next up the town of Sarasota looking north and this on the Platte river and this would be the flood plain.
Then you got I 80 in Wyoming for 120 miles to SR130.






This was another campng spot on the side of the MT. This was about 10 miles from US 40 in the Aparahio National forest. The headwaters of the Colorado river. I was down by the dark tree spot. Bryer canyon shot the Colorado river they had a bike share the road sign yellow, so people were extra careful passing me. the bike path was after my self photo shot, and about 10 miles outside Vail as you go under the bridge portion of my post. There was snow here can you believe it.moving right along,
The bridge would be my path up to the hill overlooking Frisco.

So you looking at the amazing Vail library they have tissues, hand sanitizer, pens, paper, and plenty of computers to with a fast connection.
I am standing in the stream I filtered my water my feet are numb from the stream.
The river shot is of the Blue River heading into Silverthrone about 10 miles out
Next up your looking at the Platte river crossing I just crossed into CO and I had to climb this hill after those crosswinds remember. I would then on the other side have a nice incline to Walden.




Ok the picture low looking at the MTs. was the Rott National forrest I stayed there 3 days, and your looking at the Continental Divide or Willow Pass. I would climb the 9600 feet on Sunday after leaving Walden CO.
This is Waldon Colorado looking down.
Next is comming down from Willow Pass going toward Windy Gap
The town your looking at is Frisco CO I climbed the hill and got some great cell reception, The trail was Meadow creek trail.



The picture looking out to the lake was my camp site for the night Green MT. Resivor.
The picture looking out to the MT with the bike path is Vail pass climbing up.
Finally the Colorado river looking up stream to Bryer Cannyon.
