FULL SEND
I decided to take the short detour to Cathedral Ranch Cabins. 

I was still carrying plenty of calories to get to Silverton but was getting sick of my options and yearned for a hot food reboot.

Boy was that a good call! I rolled in to find John & Karin enjoying microwave pizza and gearing up to hit Slumgullion. I hadn’t seen either of them in days. It gave me hope I might cross paths with one or both on the next day’s Coney-Cataract mission.

Brad and Annette were terrific hosts who very thoughtfully stock their little store with anything a bike pack racer might need. I picked up a couple of frozen burritos and a heap of other snacks.

Most memorable though was the unexpected handshake from Brad and big-ole mom-hug send-off from Annette. That buoyed me most of the way up Slumgullion Pass in the dark.

I got very sleepy in the last few miles and had to climb off, lean on my bike, and close my eyes for a minute. This happened several times… and pretty much wherever I was when the lights went out… likely right in the middle of the road (yikes!) Fortunately, there were no cars about. Each such stop would help fend off the sleepy-wobbles for 5-10 minutes.

I finally reached Slumgullion Pass – the unexpected Rubicon of my journey – at 11:30pm. I put on all my layers, and without hesitation, dove full send towards Spring Creek Pass.

Thank you badger.
