Slowly adapting…

The I-day ride....Eat some breakky at 7am. Leave town headed west out on highway 160 on your mountain bike. Make sure you have a posse. Ride over Hespreus (8200’), and take a right up La Plata Canyon past Mayday then Climb. Then climb some more. 1 hour to Kennebec pass (12000’; 3650m). Descend slide-rock goat track which is in fact the Colorado trail. Continue descending the loamy Colorado Trail singletrack for 1 hour, then single-track climb for an hour, then descend some more mind-blowing singletrack again for two, yes two hours!! I was lucky enough to meet up with Todd Wells (recently confirmed on the USA XC olympic team), Troy Wells, Tad Elliot (USA U23) & Ben Kneller (jittery joes). This meant a solid day out. A 5 hour treat both up & down.

Get back to town & eat a tonne.
