Sheridan Lake to Scott City. TransAmerica day 41

TransAmTrailBy Piers2022-06-11Leave a comment

Sheridan Lake to Scott city. 124.42km. 99m ascent. 4h10 ride time You want flat, you get flat. Flatter than Holland today but we had a half decent tail wind so chain on the right (I don’t have a chain or a derailleur but the principle is the same). Biggest gear and full speed ahead We…

Ordway to Sheridan Lake. TransAmerica day 40

TransAmTrailBy Piers2022-06-11Leave a comment

Ordway to Sheridan Lake. 145.63km. 360m ascent. 7h25 ride time We had planned an early start for 3 reasons: 1, It was a long stretch. 2, to beat the heat. 3, to try to avoid the wind which is less strong mornings. Unfortunately we had enjoyed ourselves a bit too much the night before and…

Pueblo to Ordway. 90.13km. 154m ascent. 3h36 ride time Easy day today with a nice little tail wind and we arrived in plenty of time to check into the hotel / hostel. Rich Graham, who rode with us from 8 May till 5 June, came and met us with his wife Melanie at the hotel…

TransAmTrailBy Piers2022-06-09Leave a comment

Today a day off. Just downhill from Wetmore to Pueblo. 54.95km. 259m ascent (644 descent). 2h35 ride time We arrived in Pueblo around 11:00 so went to the best coffee shop for a good coffee on Main Street before going to visit the Rosemount Victorian Museum. Very well preserved with about 95% original pieces in…

TransAmTrailBy Piers2022-06-08Leave a comment

Guffy to Wetmore. 97.85km. 903m ascent. 4h54 ride time. Today we left Guffy after not sleeping at all well. We were both cold in the night and the military cots were not as comfortable as they looked. Nothing was open, not the bar, not the bakery and not the café…. This left us with about…

TransAmTrailBy Piers2022-06-08Leave a comment

Silverthorne to Guffy. The big one 138.31km. 1,462m ascent. 7h02 ride time Today was the big one with the Hoosier Pass at just over 3,500m and then a long run down to Guffy. We had company for the climb as I had met Scott and Christine Beam a way back when I stopped on a…

TransAmTrailBy Piers2022-06-052 Comments

Kremmling to Silverthorne. 67.61km. 761m ascent. 3h34 ride time We left our campsite in Kremmling after a good night’s sleep and only ~65km to ride to bring us to the bottom of the biggest climb on the TransAmerica Trail The scenery was breathtaking but as we had a bit of time on our hands so…

Walden to Kremmling. TransAmerica day 34

TransAmTrailBy Piers2022-06-05Leave a comment

Walden to Kremmling. 129.87km. 901m ascent. 6h04 ride time Today we went over the Willow Creek pass at 2,950m which, I think, is the highest so far. We have been above 2,000m for the past week so reasonably well acclimatised to the elevation ( Sorry America, I can’t bring myself to say acclimated 😱) The…

Riverside to Walden. TransAmerica day 33

TransAmTrailBy Piers2022-06-04Leave a comment

Riverside to Walden. 79.25km. 807m ascent. 4h08 ride time Today we left our campsite for a gradual climb all day with just 1 decent hill. The road had been ground off for the first 6km so the surface was rough and the wind was against us 🥵 The road was pretty quiet but just before…
