Ride 2 Strava Data: http://www.strava.com/activities/172602501
Today I rode with the group, a fun group at that! Art, Robert, Bonnie, Noah, Bobby a fellow from Vermont who's name I don't remember. We planned on riding the first 2 climbs St Kevin's and Sugarloaf pass then back to town. We left at our usual 9am and headed down the valley riding the course start aprox 7 miles in your at the base of St Kevin's not a long climb compared to the others but steep in places. Art flew by us and we all gave chase, I hung in there for a while but the thin air really got toe today, I was huffing and puffing, legs felt great but I missed my dirty oxygen rich Michigan air!! Other than stopping for a truck I did ride the whole climb I was happy about that. Once we descended it began to rain , we took a short cut and headed back to town. The rout back was all paved roads around torqouise lake, I was really reserve riding on the wet pavement, at one point I shot wide and almost missed a turn good thing there was no oncoming traffic, scared the heck out both myself and Art!! We rode back up from the valley and back to hostel.
