Indy Pass Report

2011-06-08T10:10:00.001-06:00

Sunday - Luisa, Al & I did Independence Pass. This is the second highest continuous paved road in the US and will be featured in the USA Pro Challange(Quiznos) race in August. We set out from the "town" of Twin Lakes around 9:45. The ride pretty much starts climbing right away. Nothing to bad but it goes up and up. At about 10,000 feet we start seeing snow on the side of the road, by the top it is all snow except for the road. Lots of back country skiers still out.
The last 3 miles of the climb are steady but not too steep, the main factor is the Altitude. You just can't go too hard...
Al kept jumping ahead of us and got a lot of good pictures - https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.2073112028053.2128085.1252473467
17 Miles Down, 57 to go...
We bundled up and headed down to Aspen. It was pretty chilly the first 5 miles, but then warmed up quite nicely. This road is in good to pretty bad shape. You always had to be aware of bumps, dips, potholes, gravel, water, etc. Hopefully it will be worked on before the pros head down it in August. Below 10,000 feet it started warming up and we cruised into Aspen for a Sandwich with the rich folks.
37 Miles Down, 37 to go, of which 20 was uphill. The Aspen side is 1000 feet more climbing.
The first 4 miles where rolling then we started climbing on a open, hot, sunny section of road. This was the hardest part of the ride for me.
At about 10000 ft we made it back into the trees and in the snow banks, which cooled us down a bit. The climb on this side was not to steep either, just long, grinding at high altitude.
With 2 miles to the top, I had to take off from Al and Luisa, so I could hammer over the top and down to call the Kennel by 5:00. I went a little faster up and then bombed down the decent. I had to bunny hop a few holes and dips. I made it back just in time and called the kennel for a later pickup. I went to the store to get some water and fudge sickles for us. Al and Luisa, got down just in time before the fudge melted and I would have been force to eat them...
7500 ft. of Climbing, 74 Miles and 6 Hours Ride time...

Worse part was that I had to rush to get the mutts and had to stop by a gas stations to some hot dogs for dinner... At least they had some good beer...

*Yesterday I did a lap around Turquoise Lake in Leadville. A beautiful 14 mile loop at 10000ft. Thinking of doing a High Altitude Training Camp up there in mid- July. Camp and ride for a few days. Do CopperMtn Loop.

ACA Reg Database Throwing Errors

2011-04-11T09:56:00.001-06:00

Tonight, I'll try to update the CyclingEvents.com DB with the latest ACA Membership as the ACA Webservice is acting flaky. Probably has to do with people checking Roubaix results and they are running out of connection to their MySQL DB.

bus ride to Nederland, Saturday morning

2010-11-05T10:19:00.000-06:00

Is anyone interested in taking the 8:10 N bus to Nederland to meet Stephen on Saturday? The bus gets to Ned at 8:40, we would ride until he shows up at 10:00, ride some more, and then I will head back down, probably via Magnolia, and possibly 68j over Flagstaff if I am feeling spry. My goal is to be home between 12 and 1. Any takers?

If you are interested, I would recommend being at the bus station about 15-20 minutes early. Sometimes there is a semi-full bus, although I cannot imagine that will happen in November.

Alternative Sunday (8/22) Ride

2010-08-20T15:12:00.001-06:00

Hey all,

Just in case, you also are in the "climbing" and "longer mileage" summer mood (as I am...no surprise, ah?)

I would like company for an alternative Sunday ride:

- Route: Raymond Loop (I have not done this with the swifties yet) or 2 laps of the Lee Hill Loop (so you can drop me or leave the fun after the 1st lap if you are in a hurry..)
- 8:00 a.m. at Vic's

Pedala Forte!
Luisa

MTB ride Tuesday afternoon, 5:30, West End of Eben Fine Park

2010-08-09T14:35:00.000-06:00

I am planning on riding Betasso tomorrow afternoon (Tuesday). I would ride from Eben Fine park and ride up the connector, probably do two laps, and then return. I will be riding the single speed for a change of pace, so I will be moving slow, with no suspension. If you are interested, meet me at the west end of the Eben Fine Park at 5:30.

Hi all,

Yesterday July 31, 2010 we had our annual one day long ride.
We rode Rist Canyon from Masonville following the race course. The ride was supported by Stephen with cool water, Gatorade and cookies.
We started around 9:00 a.m. and finished around 1:00 p.m. Perfect, before afternoon big heat and stronger wind. Afterwards we had a delightful picnic by the Horse Tooth. We found a nice picnic table in the shade and enjoyed all the goodies that everyone brought along with a nice glass of wine. It was delicious and fun. We toasted to a great ride, riders, friends and cycling club in town. Join us next year.

Re: Sunday's B Swift Ride - 8:00 AM (new time)

There was vote, while drinking beer at Amante, to move the ride up to 8:00 AM for Sunday. Unless otherwise emailed out later we will start at 8:00 AM at Vic's to beat the heat.

Signed,

Sunday's Swift B ride will leave from Vic's at 9am.
The route will be familiar with some little used side spurs thrown in to add some spice.
We'll head out on Rt. 36 an go up Middlefork Road. This is a nice little 2 mile climb on
a very quiet road. Back down and then up LHC to Olde Stage Rd.
Before crossing over the top, we'll head right up Valley Lane.
Never heard of Valley Lane, no idea what I'm talking about? Then come on out.
Back to Olde Stage and folks can bail out at Amante or we can continue
on to climb up Linden and Timber Loop.
I guesstimate the loop to Amante should be a little under 2 hours,
and add another hour adding the Linden/Timber Loop.
