Day 45 Breckenridge

The Bivvi Hostel is a great place to chill. Full of hikers & bikers from all over.

Known & advertised as Bivvi. (sign name is different)

Fellow biker, Paul, here to compete in the Colorado mountain bike race, 500 mile single track event where riders typically ride 18-20 hrs a day. Definitely not for me! His job, owner of a Canada taxi company, serving a large native American community – his account is government funded so does pretty well & lots of time to indulge in adventures.

Othes travellers included Transcontinental rideres, a hiker going where he fancies & so far has 5000 miles with no particular destination.

My day was lazy – caught up on my blogs, spoke to home & good chats with Allan & Mick Shaw before exploring the town.

Breckenridge is the oldest Colorado town west of the Continental Divide. In 1859, 30 gold seekers founded the place as a staging ground for prospecting. Within a year it had a post office & has grown to another affluent ski town.

Something to be proud of?
