Day 17 is my final ride of this journey. Today, I’ll cross three mountain passes above 11,000 feet – all are part of the Colorado Pass-a-Palooza™ — rated Honorable Mention on my Top Ten. I leave Winter Park, immediately climbing toward 11,306-foot Berthoud Pass. After a brief stop in Georgetown, I head up Guanella Pass, 11,670 feet. To cap off the day, I ride over 12,095-foot Independence Pass and into Aspen. Soon, I arrive in Carbondale, where Sarah has dinner waiting. I’m home! And, drum roll please … my last 17 blog posts averaged 98.65 words each. Mission accomplished!
