Day 36: Grandby, Co to Kremmling, CO

Sunday, July 4rth

What better way to celebrate America‘s Independence Day than a lazy, 28-mile downhill ride into Kremmling, Colorado? We started the day by sleeping in until 6:30 am (I’m not being sarcastic) and cruised out of Grandby. Last night, we watched the fireworks in Grandby after the rodeo and several of us continued the celebration of the 4th today by wearing American “flair” on our bikes. All groups took their time getting into Kremmling by exploring what Hot Sulpher Springs had to offer and their curiously named local establishments. We rode through beautiful Byers Canyon with horses on the left and deer jumping along to the right just as a train wound around the steep canyon walls above the river; tumbleweed was blowing across Main Street, Kremmling and the only thing missing to make this a real Western was dueling cowboys.

Groups arrived early into Kremmling and more or less took it easy afterwards. Tonight everyone plans to watch the fireworks over the cliffs that hang above Kremmling. Happy 4th of July everyone!
