Every adventure has a certain amount of risk that goes with it.....People have crossed Antarctica on skis, climbed mountains, sailed across the world in a sail boats, run ultra marathons through extreme terrain, bike toured and hiked through all types of dangerous places...Would you call that deliberately looking for trouble ??

Frankly finding yourself in Colorado on a cross country tour in the middle of November shows poor planning in the extreme. It is warmer now due to the nonexistent global warming but Colorado mountains can still pack a unexpected wallop.

I don’t think Chris Froome could make it up there in perfect conditions with a $15000 light mountain bike stopping 5 times for substantial breaks.
Wicked hard climb in the best of conditions.
