Summer Continued

I did one huge ride this summer. The Reverse Triple Bypass.

This ride is 122 miles long and has three passes to cross. Here I am going over Loveland pass (the second). I am at about 11,000-11,500 ft, so I'm not too spry. Still have 60 miles and another pass to go. Two days later everything hurt!

The last big climb of the summer. Rode from Idaho Springs at 7,500 ft to Berthod Pass at 11,307 in 22.6 miles.

The fun of training in the mountains is the descent. Here Doug "Big Guy" Squires (from old England) and I are descending deer creek canyon, which is about 10 miles from my house and is a great training hill I use a lot.
