Exit from The Exit

I left Salida today. Very bittersweet to leave my Crested Butte/Salida life. I took one last ride on the SMT trails, said goodbye to friends at the bike shop, and tore myself away from the river. Made an overnight stop at the Rice Peeps cabin...they live completely off the grid at 10,000 feet, a couple miles off of a county road, with a humongous panorama view of the Buffalo Peaks. On to Summit County tomorrow, then Denver, then China, then Bozeman. Not much else to share, just that packing usually takes twice as long as expected.
