Post-Ride in Aspen
This year’s ride was infinitely better than last year’s. As I recall, it was 55 degrees and rainy which made for a long 100 miles. Not this time. The weather was perfect in comparison–a cold start & first climb, but eventually warming up to 70 with a mellow breeze from the north. AND I beat my PR by over TWO hours. 6:55, baby. Yahoo! That’s an average of about 14.5 mph (which also includes a lunch break).
I wasn’t able to raise as much as last year, which really sucks. I don’t think $1/mile is unreasonable. I was able to raise almost $500, so thanks again to everyone that sponsored me!
I may actually participate in a different ride next time, simply because I dislike asking people (and relatives) for money.
