D-Day (Dirt Day!)...a day of cycling exploration on unpaved roads...
Riding my Mudhoney cyclocross bike (probably where no cross bike should even go!), I snapped this picture from Mammoth Gulch Road, looking northwest toward Rollin's Pass Road and the Continental Divide.

The Colorado Death Ride.....



The Colorado Death Ride, sponsored by the RMCC on July 4, 2010.....just the mere mention of this ride makes my knees quiver and my teeth chatter!!! 226 miles, over 15,000 vertical feet.....This event, the 2nd (and longest) stage of the Colorado Triple Crown stage race...brings back a myriad of bad memories.....During the 2009 edition of this event, I suffered more than any other race I did in 2009! The long climbs and high altitude definitely took their toll during this long ride...but the scenery was breath taking at times!!! Some of Colorado's most breathtaking landscapes are located in the San Juan Mountains...I'm hoping to suffer a bit less during this year's event than I did during the 2009 campaign!!!
