Bike Day Nineteen -- Sargents, CO up and over the Continental Divide/Monarch Pass to Westcliffe, CO

We stayed in Sargents because it was at the foot of the huge climb up Monarch Pass. I got an early start on the day (wait...that's pretty much every morning...but anyway)

Heading toward Monarch Pass my highest peak yet -- 11,312 feet

After biking on a windy road with lots of trucks and recreation vehicles and a narrow shoulder it was good to stop for a moment in Cotopaxi before continuing on.
