Day 53 (Tue) 19:45 near nightfall, Telluride

Mag and Dr Ed advised me to stay in Ridgway where they had booked their motel for another night. Impulsively I decided to leave Ridgway at 15:30 to see how far I could get to Telluride. I was climbing in my 1-1 and 1-2 gears for more than 2 hours until 17:45, when I reached the summit of the 8,970 foot Dallas Divide, then I had a huge downhill run.

Past Placerville, I went through a big red canyon (my camera can't do it justice but look for it on Maggie's blog). I will go to Telluride or rough camp along the way, depending on my progress, energy level, and impending nightfall.
