We were guessing at a route, targeting 50-55 miles. And of course we wanted to get in a little mountain climb because it's only 4 until the Copper Triangle.
After the failed trip on Sunday, we were all geared up with tubes and patch kits, and tires full of air!
We headed out of keystone on the road to Summit Cove. We followed the bike path up (they have opened a new section) to the top of Swan Mt. A quick cruise down passing a crew of other riders training... A regroup at the bottom then past Frisco, Copper, and up Vail pass.
I need more gears! I'm riding an old 12 speed from the 80s. You know it has it's quirks... Down tube shifters, and I have to tighten the headset three times on a ride like this. But it's hanging in there.
The ride back to Keystone was pretty fun, almost all down hill until Dillon... But we made it back (with a quick ride up to the base of the Swan Mt Road for some extra miles). The sum total was 52 miles. Not bad. Next week we should be riding 65.

Looks fun but too long for my butt on a bike :)
