Today was another short day. I left Fairplay at 8:30am and arrived in Salida by 1pm. The route was all highway, a net descent, and hills. There was a steady wind from the south east which I had to contend with.<\/p>\n

Although by all normal reasoning I should have gone farther today there are choices now of which way to go next and it seemed a good time to rest up and figure out the next steps.<\/p>\n

My choices are to take the GDMBR through Marshal Pass or continue along the highway until around the New Mexico border. I consider taking the highway cheating but I am not yet aching to get back to wilderness biking on rough roads and the thought of taking a route up Marshal Pass doesn’t seem like fun. After a good rest I’ll decide tomorrow.<\/p>\n

Salida seems like a real town as opposed to others which are more resort towns catering to vacationers. The downtown was vibrant without travelers looking around and milling about with no place to go.<\/p>\n

I had lunch at the Boat House which was located beside a stream. Afterward I booked in at the Simple Hostel recommended by a couple I met on the street corner. It is nice to have an adequate option without a high cost. A good rest is all I need.<\/p>\n
