Rolling out of Steamboat Springs |

Climb out of Oak Creek |
Like today's route, I'm going to keep this short and sweet. It was nice that we will be staying another night in Steamboat Springs in that it allowed for a leisurely team photo and breakfast before hitting the road for the Day 3 ride. While it was only a 54 mile "recovery" ride, today's loop to the south of Steamboat Springs offered 3,500 of mostly rolling climbing. In fact, it reminded me a lot of the Ironman Wisconsin cycling course west of Madison. It was very pretty and pastoral and there weren't nearly as many riders as I suspect many took the day as a rest day. It was fun and uneventful and only took about three and a half hours, so there is not a lot more to say. I'll let the pictures do the rest of the talking.
Here's my data-
