SORRY FOLKS.....
But this beats the hell out of

FEELS A LITTLE BIT LIKE THE KENNEDY EXPRESSWAY AT RUSH HOUR

7:45 AM Start of the ride! Sort of feels like the Kennedy Expressway during rush hour

First mountain climb...Maroon Bells
getting a quick break

One of the most beautiful mountain lakes in the world

Maroon Bells
Aide
Station

The long and winding road......AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN

2nd mountain to climb.....Mount Ashcroft
No spin class can compare

Inspirational pictures guide you along the path

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!

MADE IT!
