Well, this turned into a hell of a ride for me. It took me 12 hours to finish because I completely f-ked up my knee. It started after Georgetown, so I took a long lunch at Loveland and stretched it out. It got worse on Loveland Pass and Swan did it in. I literally pedaled from Frisco to Avon without the ability to push with my left leg. I was pushing and pulling with the right. Not to mentioned that I got rained and hailed on for most of that segment as well and had ditched my leg warmers and shoe covers in the car at Loveland.

I should have quit. It would have been the smart thing to do and I probably wouldn't be getting a sports medicine referral this week, but I had to finish for my own reasons.

How did others do? I enjoyed meeting some of you, and still hope to meet others that I didn't find.

I will need to have my knee better for the next one.
