Or a 5 hour endurance pace ride.
Has young [MENTION=364302]Doge[/MENTION] even been up Guanella? He's going to like it, in actuality. I was surprised that it ended above tree line, and it is likely right up his alley.
I guessed you picked up that was where we are going. No.
He has a ride (car) from COS to Georgetown Sunday AM. Mom and I are arriving Sat night. I'm taking bike and we'll meet about 8:15 for a 9:00 ride. So less than ideal.
I don't know what the effort will be. We just want to test out the new setup. He's too heavy now for a real record and has been training for the U23 RR. With school, military - just making excuses, but it is difficult to get the miles in, or be at leanest skinniest upper body weight when they have you doing pull-ups and chin-ups all the time. Not that that isn't better overall anyway, it is IMO, just he's carrying 5-10 lbs more than a pure climber.
