Days 55 to 60 – Boulder and Aspen<\/h2>\n\n

I\u2019ve spent nearly a week off the route in Boulder and Aspen. It was a great vacation, but I suppose it\u2019s about time I get back to pedaling. It was nice to reconnect with four of my old friends whom I haven\u2019t seen in years and to make new friends, too! I even ran into some people in Aspen who happened to also be from Charlottesville and know my coworkers\u2014small world.<\/span><\/p>\n


Soon after I arrived in Boulder, I came across some horrible news. One of my hiking family from the Appalachian Trail, Britanny, had been in a serious cycling accident and was in a hospital near Denver. Brittany was part of the group of hikers with whom I finished the Appalachian Trail in 2004. I got out to see her during one of my days off. I wish we could have reunited outdoors, but it made me happy to see her nonetheless. I was glad to know that she\u2019s recovering well and that the accident didn\u2019t affect her spirit or smile. A <\/span>fund<\/span><\/a> has been set up to help Brittany and her husband, Lee. Please help if you can.<\/span><\/p>\n

After several days in Boulder, it was time to return to the trail. Speshul, Jesse, and I headed out of Boulder for Frisco. They planned to continue to Aspen for the night, and when they proposed that I might join them and return to Frisco on the way back, I accepted. It was precipitating a little.<\/span><\/p>\n
