Day 3, Tuesday - Sargents/Pitkin/Tin Cup and return via Monarch to Salida.

This ride was the longest - about 168 miles plus side trips to the Alpine Tunnel. We hit Sargents, Pitkin, and went over Cumberland Pass to Tin Cup for lunch. The rain started shortly after lunch as we headed up Napoleon Pass. In the rain, this route gets real ugly, so even the A team turned back. In the meantime, we lost some of our group due to some miscommunications but were reunited in Pitkin. 


Craig gets the first flat tire of the trip. He hit a cattle guard grate the wrong way!


How many guys does it take to change a flat?


Gas stop and coffee in Pitkin


UPS even delivers in Tin Cup. Why isn't that pickup an ugly brown?


Last stop before we head back to Salida
