Had to wait for the bike shop to open so I could get the gears tuned up. They work perfect now. Ate a huge breakfast while waiting for bike. It is sooooo cold. I put my thermals on. Looked like it could rain, but it didn't.
Got to a campground just before the climb up to the first pass over the Continental Divide a little after 8:00 pm. I was too cold to eat dinner and I didn't want to attract any bears with the smell of food. I was the only person in the campground.
I pitched my tent and crawled into my bedroll, but I couldn't get to sleep because I was so cold. Again it was a night of many catnaps, tossing and turning. I don't think I got more than three hours of sleep.
I may have even been hallucinating during the night. I would open my eyes and against the moonlit sky I could see big spiders crawling up the outside of the tent. Amazing what the imagination can do.
I double bagged all my food in ziplock baggies and had my bear spray within easy reach.
