As the group was still split and we did not want to hang around until they caught up we agreed to meet them later in Boulder at a hotel we all knew from a previous trip.
It was another glorious day, the sun was shining and the run down to Boulder via Fort Collins was very pleasant. A few years back we had happened by chance on a custom bike shop called Bikers Dream who are agents for Big Dog. It was nice to be able to call in there again and look over the stock. The manager of the store a guy called Matt generously sent us on our way with Bikers dream T shirts and a recommendation for a pretty ride via The Devils Backbone. Its bad form really but we could not resist riding the rest of the road down to Boulder without helmets and now that we were at a lower elevation we could take off a lot of surplus gear which is just as well as it was very hot that day.

For those that don't know Boulder its an attractive university town with plenty going on and some great places to eat, the group came together again in Boulder but not for long as enticing us for the last day was Rocky Mountain National Park and the Trail Ridge Road. Uncle Bloatus and Brian again declined the invitation to join us on what would prove to be a fitting end to our bike tour.
