Up one level

An early season century ride to see what the legs have in them. Eric and I met a bunch of ER folks, along with my neighbors Greg and Kate for the ride. A late start at 9:00 guaranteed we'd do the ride mostly alone. It was a beautiful day, but the constant headwind heading uphill to Leadville guaranteed a slow first half of the ride, but made for a great fast finish at the end.
