Before the ride begins- we just had our first orientation session....
pretty intimidating, actually... I’m the heaviest rider here- by 30 pounds, likely.
All good people & very seasoned riders, it looks like. 17 of us.
Our first uphill will be on Lookout Mountain in Golden, which I just happened to drive up on my way here.
It’s a big one, lots of switchbacks- a 6 mile climb or so. Which is just the start of the day’s 53 miles.
This week (what’s left of it- now on Tuesday)- will give me over 350 miles & 40,000 feet of elevation.
Wish me luck- I’ll need it!
