He Said, She Said: Day 36-Rest day-then why is Sharon exhausted?

She said: Today was a "rest day" for Paul. We drove to Frisco-about 5 miles from where we are staying to go to a bike shop for some supplies for Paul, and to ride on the bike path in town. We began on the bike path in the downtown area and started riding around the reservoir area. There was an 18 mile loop that circled the reservoir, so we started off in that direction. It was fairly flat and I was doing just fine, so we continued on through some beautiful areas around the reservoir. Just when we were more than halfway around the hills started to get a bit steep, and I started sucking wind-there isn't much at 9500' to suck, and we didn't bring any water with us either-not smart. Well, I wasn't turning back, so with some walking and peddling-we made it around the loop. Paul was very patient-it was just a Friday morning ride in the park for him. Got back to Frisco, had a nice lunch, walked around the downtown, and then headed back to Silverthorne-where we were staying. Played some Nertz-Paul is ahead in the series 5 to 3. Went to an outdoor Bluegrass Concert downtown to benefit the town's River project. Talked to a woman working for the Blue River Watershed Group about the Source to Sea program The Last Green Valley had done. Listened to some Blue Grass music and enjoyed watching people of all ages enjoy the concert. Got a bite to eat and headed back to the motel-I'm beat-the thin air and exercise has worn me out!
He said: Break day today, so we took a nice ride around the lake. About a 20 mile ride with a pretty good hill about 3 miles from the end. Sharon did really well especially considering the high altitude and the fact that she hadn't had much time to ride while we've been on the trip. I was proud of the way she hung in there and refused to take the taxi I called. We were both thirsty and famished, had a nice lunch and walked around the town in the afternoon. Went to an outdoor Bluegrass concert, had supper and called it a night. Back on the road tomorrow, heading towards Wyoming.
