Our first climb in Colorado started off very gradually. It became a little steeper as we got near halfway, but it was easy compared to our climbs in Utah. Around 40 miles into the 50 mile climb, one of Aidan's spokes broke. He repaired it, however the wheel wasn't true, so we were in need of a bike shop. Telluride was still 25 miles away, and farther than we planned on going, so we decided to go there tomorrow. We reached Lizard Head Summit (10222ft) soon after and coasted a few miles to a campground. Our goal was to arrive at camp before 6 so that we could have a chance to relax, and we finally did. We bought firewood and had our first real fire of the trip. We roasted marshmallows and then we were able to take showers. Fairly easy day.
