There is something almost unfair about being able to jump on the road bike and go ride through this from my front door. Glenwood Canyon is absolutely one of my favorite rides and one of the most incredible spots in this country, especially when it's warm enough to actually sweat while you are riding in November. This roughly 70 mile round trip to Glenwood and back through the 16 mile canyon is boneriffic.
Glenwood Hot Springs, always hoppin, all year round.
Did you know this?
Portions of what was the most expensive fifteen miles of Interstate highway ever built at the time, completed in 1993. Remember when this was a windy two laner prior to that?

This was such a better choice than driving five hours roundtrip to Boulder to race CX today, race, finish in the same spot I always finish in, then watch all my friends finish in the same place they usually finish in, and then realize nobody actually cares where I finished, including myself. It's kind of tired. See you down there tomorrow, and everyone should finish in a new place just to mix it up a little.
Good call! I remember at the beginning of the season you mentioned that you were done CX racing and just wanted to enjoy riding this fall. Then you started attending all these races every weekend.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful weekend for a road ride though. Too bad mine ending not so well. Oh well.
