- Crossed up over Independence Pass from Aspen which is again another beautiful pass all on sealed roads.
- Stopped in Gunnison for some minor work on the bike at Gunnison Motorsports. The team there where extremely helpful and accommodating and where happy to help me out even though I'd just dropped in on them without any notice. They also insisted I went over Engineer Pass to Ouray which as turned out to be the best advice I've received on the whole trip thus far.
- Stayed in Lake City the night and once again ended up staying in a small road-side motel since all the camp grounds have these warnings about bears. I'm starting to realise though that all this bear talk is perhaps a product of a certain fear syndrome.
- Lake City left a bitter taste for me, the lodging was notably expensive and crumby and since there is only one bank in town they charge a $5 ATM usage fee!! Perhaps not the kind of metrics one should measure a town by but all the same I was happy to head out to Engineer Pass in the morning.
