Today's Stats
Miles:67.75
Riding Time:5:40:23
Avg. Speed:11.9 mph
Max Speed:48 mph (Bekkey hates this stat)
Elevation Gain:7772 ft.
Today was our
shortest day for mileage, the highest elevation of the ride (Loveland Pass 11,990 ft) and the hardest day of climbing. Cool weather for the climbing, which was really nice considering the hot weather we've been having recently. The only
complaint regarding the weather was a 15 minute rain shower
near Bakerville.
We met up with a group of riders from New Jersey. They flew out to ride the Triple By-Pass route. Flat landers putting us to shame! Oh, well!
The rivers and creeks are running high and fast. The recent hot weather is melting the snow at a rapid rate. No flooded roads or bike paths, yet.
Bekkey did a great job driving the support vehicle, meeting us every 20 miles or so. She even got a chance to do her own riding. She especially liked riding Loveland Pass from each direction!
