I tried and I failed...

I started at Crystal Lake Reservoir at Pikes Peak, made it 7 miles towards the summit then quit. Started off in really decent cycling temps but nearing the tree line the temps were 20* lower and the winds were quit stiff and cold, adding to that I had serious breathing issues. For me, I think I would have to spend a fair amount of time in the area training to believe I would have a chance to make it. My legs did fine I just couldn't get into a consistent breathing rythem. Abandoning the ride will bother me for a while.
