Notes: route determined by trying to miss thunder storms. The second time at the I70 Genesee exit shoulder point, I stopped because of a storm. A woman in a Toyota Prius offered me to sit in her car, to wait out the rain, and we had the greatest conversation about hybrid cars, victorian homes, Guanella Pass and travelling in Europe. After that the ride was dry.

(Garmin etrex30 m3:16.12.10).
Notes: Intuitively this should be less climbing than P14-1 instead of ~600ft more. But even using basecamp figures on the recorded track it still comes out to 6100ft. - windy day - I70 bike path was open but snowed in.
