Very good. Not at all about turning about before summiting, but rather
having a complete assessment of the objective that includes the valuable
retreat with assets intact.
In the late '80s, my friend and I saw a sign at Lake San Cristobal, near
Lake City, CO, that proclaimed Silverton 27
Inspiring report, great pictures. Thanks!

Sounds great, Tim and Dave. Let me know and hopefully the ride elves will
all come together. Just be forewarned that my brain requires special
preparation on your part to get you as scent-free as possible.
I was really looking forward to trying this because it is paved and I don't
ride much
My hat's off to all of you who attempt this sort of thing. As I mentioned
in a previous post, we visited my son and his family in Colo Springs at the
end of September and drove up Pike's Peak. When we got to the top I walked
around feeling light headed and my wife complained of chest pressure

You're right, George. Hypoxia is a challenge to avoid when exerting one's
self at altitude. Whenever I'm running or biking a steep climb, I pray the
rosary silently in my head. If I lose my place, I know I need to exert

Aye. I use the Jesus prayer on the climbs that I know don't push my

beautiful ways to enter contemplative bliss when climbing and simply find
yourself miles further on your way.

Well Done Patrick! You are the MAN! You will appreciate it the next time

Maybe next time I'll join you.:)

That is so so kewl. I was in Colorado Springs and went to ride up and
when I got to the toll booth they said we couldn't ride up. Great to see

Thanks for the ride report
