This time I made it. MD is in bad shape from the road work it's like marbles on hard wood floor. | |

I'm tired, and I am recovering via a beer IV. Spectacular day for such a big ride and effort! 4 of us started, 2 went their own ways on Maple Springs, and Dynamo and I did the figure 8. I've always wanted to do this route, but never figured I was good for it. All that training and riding in middle ring has really paid off. Riding the same hills in small ring, on a big ol' ride such as this, is very doable. I felt relatively strong the whole route. Temps were perfect for me! A few buggers out on Main Divide between 4C and MW, but not bad. Gates were all closed off after the paved section of MS, as the CNF was turning motorized traffic back. Sweet!! I feel deeply satisfied and confident I will do well on my first CC. Great Big Ride! | |

HT - This one has been on my to-do list for a long time but never had much desire to get it done. Wanted to see if I could get some good mileage in today so this was it. Rode most of the ride with Troy, Frank & Travis. Just me from 4-corners to MW for the last part of the ride. Pretty chilly and windy today but still nice out there. Good seeing Eric H. on Maple Springs. Lots of moto and vehicle traffic on Main Divide and Maple Springs. Just hope the legs continue to feel good through April 5. | |

Its freaking hot! Unable to push due to the heat. Started an hour earlier than usual, good thing too. The climb up Blackstar was fine, but then the heat really started to pick up though Main Divide. Nice and slow up maple springs trying to keep cool. | |

Stopped near the base of Maple Springs to help Sten and Mark with a broken rear derailleur. | |

I must have had 10 wardrobe changes today. Cold, hot, cold, hot, dry, wet. Only wet on the second Moto run. I saw the nasty stuff was moving in and skipped the peak. Glad I did. Broke my chain for the first time in years. | |

started early from the tree farm and got all the way to where the pipes used to be and noticed I forgot my bottles in my car. headed back to get them and lost 25-30 minutes of time. Good thing was that I didn't need my light at that point. Rode from Beeks over to Motorway and then up Maple with some of the Blackstar guys. Talked with Craig all the way up to 4 corners and then hung out there for 30 minutes or so waiting for my ride buddy who wasn't feeling it today. | |
