7-21-12



Martin: That was a good chocolate cake.
Me: Nine of us woke at 3am, left the house at 4am and drove to Bartlett Lake Road turnoff. From here we biked down to Bartlett Lake and back out, to Seven Springs and back to the cars (refueled with food, ice and water) and then one last time to Bartlett Lake and back. Wowzer! 7 hours of riding, 84 miles, 8400 feet of climbing and 108 degrees. It was a fun group and a pretty ride. I'm glad we did it despite being miserably hot the last 2 hours. This was our last really long training ride before Leadville. From now until the race we'll be easing back on the miles. Yeah!
