Copper Triangle
Karyn couldn't join us for the copper triangle this year. Becky and some friends joined me.
We started out at the copper parking lot at 6:55. A little behind schedule. We did run into several people we knew going into the ride.
I was about 30 minutes behind Peter, and took the ride easy. Training up for the Tour de Cure century ride in 2 weeks.
Almost at the top of Tennessee pass. The view was spectacular. I wound up riding with a friend that I used to work with. One of those guys that was always willing to help teach you what you needed to know. Bryan Jordan: I haven't seen him in 10 years. He was riding with his mother in law.
That's him on my left. You can see I've already raised enough for the tour that I had on this year's tour jersey.
The group split after the rest stop at the bottom of Vail pass on the west side. I droned it all the way to the finish on my own. Crossing the finish right at 2pm.
I measured it out, I had spent over 2 hours in rest stops that day. Riding with a group, it takes a while to keep everyone together.
