We left the campground early and enjoyed a four mile descent into Nederland, a friendly little town with a great bakery.
Surrounded by beautiful scenery for the entire day, which was made even better by the frequent and scenic descents!
We stopped for lunch in Allenspark at the 'Meadow Mountain Cafe' and then enjoyed the rest of the day cycling through Colorado.
Day 2 - Rollinsville, Nederland, Ward, Ferncliff, Allenspark, Meeker Park, Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park.

| Breakast stop at 'New Moon Bakery' - Nederland, CO |
Today is our first full day on the road, cycling around 80 km on highway 72 and 7. The route takes us through many small towns and is not too challenging as there are no major climbs, except a 6 mile ascent from Estes Park to the Rockies.

| Approaching the Fall River entrance of the Rocky Mountain National Park |
The entrance gate to the Rocky Mountain National Park was a welcome sight as we were starting to get tired....let's just say it was a long mile cycle to the campground once we were through the entrance gate!
All of our food and items with a scent were carefully stored in the 'bear boxes' to avoid any unwanted quests in the evening!
