Your reward at the top.

I dropped off the old man at Denver airport this a.m. and immediately went for a much anticipated ride. Didn't want to do anything crazy with it being my first ride up here at altitude. Ended up doing a little over 30 miles and a little over 3000 ft climbing. Let me tell you the altitude kicks you in the ass. I felt pretty crappy the first hour (pretty good headache and nausea) but I think I began to adjust. I would have to say the riding out here is pretty spectacular. Pretty fucking RAD out here so far!
