DAY 7 June 27
107 miles (profile) Buena Vista to Glenwood Springs.
The longest ride of the 2009 BTC at 107 miles, climbing 4,000+ feet over the Continental Divide a second time as we cycle over Independence Pass, 12,095' above sea level, at approximately mile 45, and then a 60 mile descent down the winding, sometimes narrow, road off Independence Pass, through the picturesque town of Aspen, the small, quiet town of Basalt, past Carbondale and on to the place the BTC began just the week before, Glenwood Springs. 500+ miles. CONGRATULATIONS! You did it!! YOU ARE AWESOME!!!
