first day in the saddle-

51 miles of Rockies- or was it 59? Either way, it was a good start with this good group ride.

I broke a spoke at mile 4 !!!

But these folks with Carmichael Training are great. They had a spare wheel ready for me, so I was able to go uphill, uphill, uphill.

And then downhill some, too. I learned some good things about descents, which will help - a lot!

Now, if I could only lose ten pounds overnight- to prepare for the climb up Mt. Evans tomorrow. That one is over 14,000 feet- really! Today we went up to 8,500- and that was relatively easy enough.

Fingers crossed for Thursday!!
