Day 22 Tuesday, September 26
Durango, Colorado.
35 miles, 1,398 feet elevation gain.
After a yuge breakfast at Doughworks, John and I went for a mellow ride up to Bakers Bridge, a historical river crossing back in old miner's days, and the site where Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid was filmed-this is where they jumped off cliffs and swam. We continued on, crossing hwy 550 over to the parallel, and much less busy county road 203. We rode the 15 miles back to town and proceeded to make a four-stop Brewery tour:Durango, Steamworks, Carver, and Animas. All but Steamworks had good beer . We also rode down to the kayak park in town-permanent slalom gates are hung-it looks like an awesome resource!
Janet and Bob the beagle took a walk on the Animas trail while Jo relaxed in the van next to the river.
We waited for Laurel to get home from work, and we all went out for Himalayan food. It was all delicious, including the ground yak dumplings!
