We left Aspen after an exciting Stage 3 provided by Tommy D and headed to Leadville. Julie wanted have a day oncourse so we decided to watch the sprint in Leadville. We stayed at the historic Delaware hotel and got up early to walk around town and find some breakfast.
The crowd was small but they had a lot of fun. There was a bike parade and various citizen events. I opted to go ride the course up to Tennessee Pass and back.
When leaving Leadville I met a guy from Juneau Alaska. He has been riding a fully loaded touring bike from Durango. Pretty interesting story that he flew to Durango and has been following the race. He has a shoulder surgery scheduled in the Vail next week.
I had to head off up the pass so I could get back to Leadville for the sprint.
The sprint was uneventful since Jens Voight was way ahead of the peloton.
