During the last day of our end-of-the-summer road trip in Colorado, Dan and I rented bikes.
Rather than numbers, each bike was labeled with its name.
My bike was named Petra and Dan’s was Galiardi.
We biked 9 miles from Breckenridge to the fish bike racks at Frisco Marina –
this was the meeting place for us to take a shuttle to the top of Vail.
cowbells cheering us on. One boy repeated:“Do your best!” to all the riders biking by.
Little did I know that we were sharing the course with The Colorado Cyclist Copper Triangle,
whose course followed a 78-mile loop cresting three Colorado Mountain passes –
Fremont Pass (elevation 11,318’), Tennessee Pass (elevation 10,424’) and Vail Pass (elevation 10,666’)!
At the end of my ride, back in Frisco, I stopped at Abbey’s Coffee and treated myself to a Pineapple Express: a smoothie with juice, vanilla yogurt, pineapples, strawberries, bananas and a scoop of protein!
Remember the importance of having a cheerleader.
And never give up!
I’d love to hear about your accomplishments in the comments below!
Let’s cheer each other on and celebrate together!
Have a great beginning to your week!
