Another awesome year riding the Courage Classic with Mom, Marty and Kim! Thanks sponsors (Chris); The Children's Hospital Foundation is a great cause to ride for!
Saturday-July 21- Rode 58 miles in the first day of the Courage Classic. We left from Leadville and rode over Tennessee Pass (10,404 ft.) and then past the 10th Mtn. Division Memorial at Camp Hale (we thought of Chris). Then we went over Battle Mtn. and through Minturn and Vail. We had a nice lunch at the rest area along the river. Then we climbed over Vail pass (20 miles of climbing to 10,666 ft.!) and then finished in Copper Mtn.
Sunday-July 22-Rode 88 miles on day two. We left Copper Mtn. and went down 10 mile canyon to Frisco/Silverthorne. We did the option route and rode out along the Blue River and up Ute Pass and then back. Slogged through Silverthorne (very hot, steep and traffic). Then we climbed over Swam Mtn. and went into Breckenridge for lunch. Then we rode back up 10 mile to finish in Copper. Whew, we were beat and hurting!
Monday-July 23-Rode 45 miles on day three. We left Copper and rode up Fremont Pass (12 miles of climbing to 11,318 ft.). Then a fast descent and into Leadville (48 mph was my top speed!) Then it was around Turquoise Lake (lots of up and down, more up than down) and then back to the High School in Leadville for the finish. We met Gail there and had lunch.
What a great time!!!! Thanks for riding again Little Mountain Goat (aka Mom) (aka Dilly)
