We rolled out of Delta at around 6:15 a.m. this morning. The weather was cool all morning which made the ride very comfortable. There were some rough roads that had me wishing I was on a carbon fiber bike, but from what I hear, everyone got rattled around on that stretch of road.
The ride today was relatively mellow with a few good rollers, gradual climbs and wide open scenery.
Once we started crossing the river, we knew that Ouray was close.
The coolest part about today was seeing the mountains getting bigger and bigger with each passing mile.
We arrived in Ouray shortly after noon and promptly set up camp and headed to the shower truck. It felt good to clean up and relax.
Ouray is one of the most beautiful towns I have ever visited. It's surrounded by dramatic mountains and cliffs and has a lively downtown. If you're in town, stop by Cafe Ouray - they have good sandwiches and wraps as well as ice cream and gelato.
Looks nice. A good friend has a house in Ouray and is always offering it up. I may take up that offer now.
