2010 - Telluride to Durango MTB trip

In August 2010 I took a trip thru Western Spirit riding my mountain bike from Telluride to Durango

Notes: High Elevation, Gets Cold at Night, Wet and Muddy, others recommend staying at Spanish Trail Inn the night before, Doughworks has great breakfast burritos the day of and is in the same parking lot.
