SORRY FOLKS.....

Maroon Bells
Aide
Station

 

 

 


T
he long and winding road......AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN

Snowmass Village...Half way home!!!


Woody Creek Tavern....Good place to stop and have a beer.....but that will have to wait....Most of today's diet is water, goo and some energy bars

ONLY 29 MILES TO GO!
Riders stopping at the monastery....Praying that their legs hold out
 Or at least for a really good downhill!
