The bikes are very interesting to me, the difference between theirs and the mens'.

I'm going to say she was inspired. She's ridden some of the TdSpain course.

We did 104 miles with 8100' on Saturday, and she did a breakaway at 90, with 3 climbs still to go.
I watched her walk right by the two guys in front on the last hard climb, which starts at 16% from a flat valley road, then tapers.
I try to go from last to first on climbs like that, and I barely caught her by the summit.

We leave for Colorado today, 18 days of riding and hiking. Basically, 6 rest days, 6 riding days, travel, pickle-ball, and cribbage. Don't get me started.....
