Gunnison to Montrose

Great day cycling from Gunnison to Montrose - spoilt for scenery!

Day 9 - Gunnison, Sapinero, Cimarron and Montrose.

We have a big distance to cover today - cycling over 100 kms following highway 50 all the way.

It was a cold morning, so when we finally managed to drag ourselves out of our warm sleeping bags, we  cycled the short distance into Gunnison for a warm breakfast! 

Warmed up, we stayed on highway 50 all the way to Montrose, cycling alongside the Gunnison River for almost half of the journey. 






Despite being on the highway for the entire day, the scenery in this area is stunning.  You also realise that being on the bike makes you appreciate the views so much more than if you were driving in a car. 

I am offically hooked on touring places on a bike, I just wish I started earlier!
