| Name: | Loop northeast of Encampment | 
|
| Description: | On Saturday morning it was cloudy and not that hot, so, it was good to ride low on the tandem. We opted for a road ride up towards Saratoga, but turning right onto Hwy 130 after about 10 miles. We crossed the North Platte river and then climbed up some for several miles. Then we turned right onto dirt Brush Creek road and slowly descended south towards North Platte river along cattle farms. We crossed the river on a nice metal bridge and then battled some headwinds all the way back to the camp. | |
