*the rise started out okay, but before I knew it we were hammering at times, especially around turns/ surging Alot. On the first main climb I dropped my chain, and the ASU guys didn't even look back. Luckily Bobka sat up for me, and he carried my butt up to Estes, climbing for over 20 miles straight! A great sustained effort.. I've never really done anything like that.. And Estes is beautiful! My first view of the area is attached. We ended up riding 100 miles when it was all said& done.. Wow! What a day out here
6:00pm- got ready & jumped on the bike to head to church! I went to the 6:45 service at flatirons church in Lafayette, which was awesome, but it was 11 miles away! So I ended up riding another 22+ miles in jeans! Needless to say, I was falling apart by the ride home (which was far from flat). Luckily I forced down a buffalo chicken footling sub from Subway right after church, and this held me over until I got some well-deserved pizza later in the evening.
I had the dudeplex to myself again Saturday night, so I ended up watching a few TV movies & falling asleep on the couch! Before moving to a bed and crashing hard.. I slept until 1:00pm the next day, making it about 13 straight hours of sleep!
On the agenda upcoming is yet another ride up to Estes Park to check into our RCI resort called the historic Crag's lodge.. Look forward to telling you all about that next week!
Also, good luck to everyone back home racing IM Lake Placid tomorrow, should be an awesome day to take on the adirondaks & become an ironman! Definitely I race I'd like to do some day
