Today had everything. Views unmatched on any ride i've ever done. The Kananasas Valley is simply remarkable. I've never seen anything like it. We saw bighorn sheep on the road several times today. And postcard mountain views that went on for 60 miles.
The major climb took us to over 7200 feet, two days after leaving sea level. Felt like I was breathing through a straw.
We were chased by weather all day and thought we'd dodged a bullet. The hailstorm, rain and lightning the last 15miles of the ride indicated otherwise. We saw one flash. I started counting...one thousa--BOOM!
This is a ride i'll be telling my great grandkids about. Definitely one for the ages.

Boy do I hope I'm around for that story. If not, you can tell it to my great-grandson.
ReplyDeleteYou should not be that close to lighting, or were you wearing a rubber riding suit?
