Last pass of the ride today

We'll, it's still raining, less the deluges of yesterday and last night, but a steady, springlike heavy drizzle, thick gray skies, and an actual chill.

We're off as soon as we can muster our minds for our last big climb day of our ride... We're estimating maybe a 35-? 45-mile? day? Not sure, with the rain, where we'll tie up for the night.

The actual climb may be only 3 miles to gain Cameron Pass, which will also we our highest pass of some 10,000 ft.

Alaine's brother Callen, who lives in Denver, texted on Monday morning  that maybe he'd try to meet us along this stretch, as he'd never done  "Cam Pass" -- we'll see. It would be fun to see him on the road, but we're not expecting it, what with the weather... 

Kinda glum, but we can handle it. And it's all pavement from here! 

We got the video of the hummingbirds this morning:  https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JluRM5RUYNc
