Rockies Update 2

Day 2: Buena Vista to Edwards | 76 miles | Tennessee Pass – 10,424 ft. & Battle Mountain

Lucian said he slept much better last night and was happy with his decision to stay away from camp. Here is a photo of the cabin where he stayed. Looks pretty peaceful to me.

I spoke with Lucian briefly tonight. This will mostly be a picture post, I don't know that much about the route. They battled some high winds while riding today and long inclines that were pretty brutal. He made it through and was heading to an Italian place to get a pasta dinner this evening. He is counting on it getting easier around day 4, so everyone cross your fingers for that. So far, this ride has been quite a test of endurance.

An opera house in Leadville, where Lucian stopped for a latte and sandwich (the town, not the opera house;).
