We reached our highest point on the ride today!
While it was only a 40 mile ride, we had one of the most difficult climbs to the peak of Loveland Pass (~12,000 ft.) When we reached the summit, we all took amazing photos of the snowcapped mountains! Afterwards, we enjoyed one of the best downhill sections of the trip. We were able to cruise at 45 mph down the sides of the mountain until finally reaching Empire, Colorado.
After 40 miles of riding we made our way to our lodging at Rocky Mountain Village Camp. We had a few hours to nap and relax before our dinner and friendship visit with the campers. When we sat down for dinner I was paired up with the Ponderosa Lodge. The counselors for the “Pondo” lodge were lots of fun to meet and after eating we made our way to the outdoor theater for skits and songs.
Our skit was a spoof of the Little Shop of Horrors. According to our script, there were too many campers and so we decided to feed them to the plant so that we could shrink our numbers in the Pondo Lodge. Sadly, I played one of the campers who was eaten. After we finished our skit we spent an hour or so singing hilarious camp songs. The evening came to a close with a final song and we made our way back to lodging to rest up for the next day to Denver, Colorado.
