We woke up again today to more rain. We finally were able to drag ourselves out of our tents around 7 so we could get everything packed up again and set out. We didn't even eat this morning because sitting around for an extra half hour in the rain didn't sound to appealing.
We headed out of our campsite around 7:50am and got back on 82 and headed toward Independence Pass. It immediately started dropping in temperature as we gained elevation. Ryan said at the coldest point it reached 48 degrees which is quite the difference from high 90's and low 100's we experienced over the last few days. We made it over Independence Pass and down toward Leadville. The temps started slowly warming up and by the time we made it to I-70 things were tolerable again.
Being Saturday, there wasn't really too much traffic and we made it to Denver quickly. We made it back to Ryan's place where we both took showers and then went out to eat. The rest of the night will be filled with editing photos that we will upload to our ride reports.
I head back to Albuquerque tomorrow and I'm really looking forward to being off of my bike for a while.
