My biggest ride of the year occurred yesterday with Taylor and Mike Freidman (of Garmin-Chipotle) here in Boulder, CO. We rolled out of Boulder and went straight up Lee Hill road, a solid climb. Taylor had some efforts to do during the ride and his first one was up Lee Hill. He fluidly rode away from Mike and I as he ascended the climb. You can view my effort during the ride at: GPS Data and Power Data We continued to climb to Ward, and then to Brainard Lake at over 3000 meters (10,000 feet). The mountains in the background of the photo are from the Indian Peaks wilderness area, and the road to this point only opened up just this week!
Needless to say, I was tired at the end. We stopped at the end of the ride to soak the legs in Boulder Creek...the cool water felt good! It's less than 2 weeks until Taylor and I depart, and we've got just a little bit more training to get into his legs before we go. Stay tuned for more updates.
