Transplants Bike SWCO

The team went to SW Colorado to ride bikes.


Check out our video. The purpose of this trip was biking - but we have no pictures to show for it.
 

In fact, all of our pictures are from our rest day @ the OPUS hut, "Ophir Pass Ultimate Ski".
We took a rest day at the OPUS hut and did some light hiking. (Above) Me, Tyler, and Brian in Paradise Basin near the hut.

Morning @ OPUS


More night Sky.



Team shades. Our original plan was to ride from Rice to OPUS via Silverton and the Colorado Trail.
However, excessive rain caused us to abort to a shorter plan.... which included the Co Trail south from Lizard Head Pass to Ryman Creek.

We also climbed some peaks.

 


Including South Lookout Peak, which is a top ten ski destination looking North.


View from the OPUS - fog shrouds the valley.
Our rest day was the only day without rain.


so we read a bunch.... and sampled some excellent biking in the Cortez desert @ Phil's world.



Big shout out to Pepperhead Restaraunt in Cortez - home of the Ghost Pepper Honey Margarita!
