I had a window of time today for play and I bicycled around the town of Leadville in Lake County to the north. The morning light often reflects quite nicely on Mt. Elbert and Mt. Massive (top and bottom photo), which can be seen from many parts of town.

I had originally planned to bike to Tennessee Pass on the Continental Divide, but with the temperature at 44 and much colder with the windchill factor, I decided to stick around town. I am kind of out of shape right now anyway! :p)

Leadville Hostel

So I meandered through hilly neighborhoods on my bike. That's the Leadville Hostel.

Leadville, Colorado Main Street in Leadville. I stopped at the Proving Ground Cafe for a hot cup of coffee.

I pedaled up and down a bunch of hills! Here is the northerly view of town that includes mountains in the Mosquito Range. In that bottom photo, that's West Dyer Mountain (left - educated guess about this one), Mt. Sherman (center) and Mt. Sheridan (right).

    Let me throw in a few extras. While traveling to Leadville, I spotted a large group of bighorn sheep on the side of the road near Granite.
