Update time:
July had its ups and downs. I had another ****ing DNF, this time at the Alta Alpina Challenge. That was the low point of the year for me. I got angry like usual and swore off doubles forever. Two weeks later, I actually completed the ride solo. Here's a view from Ebbetts Pass:
August was the best month of the year for me. I got a week off of work and watched some of the Tour of Utah. Then I did a 5-day, 500-mile ride from BZN to SLC. I made it back to RNO just in time to do a big ride with Jens Voigt and the Schleck brothers. Here's my favorite picture from the trip:
I took it pretty easy in September. It was a busy off-bike time for me. Summer seemed to end far too soon.
I did a lot of 6 Mile Canyon in October.
I went into full climb-avoidance mode in November. It wasn't that cold outside yet, but it felt cold at the time.
I'm still on pace for a century per week. Just 3 more to go. I'll save my December update for the last one of the year.
