Day 9 , rest day in Golden

The sun was shinning when I got up lighting up the mountains on the edge of camp which really tower over us .
First order of business was laundry and there were only two machines here in camp so a line up formed, all in all not so bad as the laundry room was the only warm place to huddle up in. While I waited I had breakfast and cleaned the bike , after laundry was done some of us headed into town and I had a second breakfast at the “Big Bend Coffee”  , it’s amazing how much I am eating !!!
Now I’m sitting here in the shelter beside the truck , a gathering place for all of us , some on there computers , others doing laundry , some cleaning bikes and yet others eating lunch. The weather is chilly and occasionally a rain cloud goes over dropping a few drops on us , dinner planes are being made for tonight at a local restaurant. 
Tomorrow we tackle Kicking Horse Pass , the climb starts right here in town , from were I sit I can see the trucks slowly climbing the road that is high above us . Apparently no electricity in camp so probably I won’t be able to post tomorrow .
