This morning half the group meet at Beths house in Boulder which was 12 riders and the others left from Sandy's house in Berthoud. we meet 13 miles down the road and there we had our 1st rest stop of the day.
The temperature this morning was 68 when we left Boulder and it slowly climbed during the day. When we got to Estes park it showed 90. We left at 710AM and I got in at 3PM. I don't have the total climbing for today yet as I have not uploaded the information from my Garmin. I will update this later
Today was a tough day on the bike for me. I think the altitude got to me and early on did not drink enough fluids. Later on I was good on fluids but the legs were really tired. We climbed from Boulder which is about 5300 ft. and topped out at the town of Ward at 9054 ft. We then dropped down to 7400 ft and once again began to climb. By the time we got to the overlook of the valley into Estes Park it showed we were back to 8982. I was glad to see the last hill for today and am now resting up for the day tomorrow. We are going from Estes Park to Granby
