Breckenridge is in a valley. You're going to be over 10,000 once you start riding unless you stay in the valley and you know that won't happen. 
There is a MUPS from Breckenridge to Keystone if you're not 'man' enough to ride the mountains at altitude.
We did a tandem tour there back in 2007 and rode up above Breckenridge for a gold mine tour and we were well over 10,000'.

Wed Mountain bike (no I don't know how to mtn bike, that should be interesting_
Thurs recovery ride then hot tub day
Fri epic ride if I feel up to it, like maybe Independence Pass from Aspen
Sat recovery ride and ship bike back home
Sun we catch Amtrak's California Zephyr on which we have booked a sleeper room. We will cross the Rockies and Sierra Nevadas by train and then fly home from Sacramento on Monday.
Then I will need a vacation from my vacation.

BTW, you left out eggplant sticks. Not much better than that. With a sprinkling of Parmegiano Reggiano.

Okay, I know I have said this before, BUT you haven't really lived if you haven't tried sweet potato fries with creamy honey mustard dressing (aka mayo honey mustard). It is by far the best way to eat them.

Surely not on both statements. That would be way over the top. I don't think my defective heart could take it. As a doc you should be more careful.

Here we go again. Yes it is possible, but 90/95 almost never happens except for a few minutes when the sun comes out right after a rain. People who think it does are likely quoting the highs of both numbers for the day, but they occur at different times. High humidity in the morning, high temperature in the afternoon. As the temperature goes up, the relative humidity goes down. So if it is 95 when the temperature is 90, what was it at daybreak?
When the temp was 106 last year, my guess is the RH was around 40% or less. Still high for that temp, but nothing like 80%. 106/80 would be a heat index of 193 deg F. Essentially impossible. The dewpoint would be 99 deg F.

A few years back I remember getting caught along a stretch and it peaked around 112F. 10mph soaked from the whole water bottle just felt like I was being steamed with a blow-dryer in my face.

This is called "intuitive" because it makes sense after someone tells you.

You guys want love? Before we moved up to the north end of town, when AG needed to do a long ride up north I drove her up with a car full of stuff so I could be on hand if something happened while she was riding. Did my run and a Shower-Pill wipedown before sitting and reading GoT while she finishe.
Now that we live here I just keep an eye on the phone while she's out because she starts from home instead of a half-hour car ride away.

None of this stuff excited her. However, I was buying a jersey a couple weeks ago and she walked up and said, "They better have that in my size, too." The sales lady laughed because I had already had her set aside a couple for my wife to try on.
