Yesterday Eric, Janet, Mel and I did a 46 mile ride within the Copper Triangle. We started in Vail, worked our way up Vail Pass down to Copper Mountain. Back up to Searle Pass down Kokomo pass to Camp Hale. Then we road the paved to the small town of Red Cliff for some Tasty Margaritas. After dealing with all the thunderstorms, Rain, Funky temps and Broken Pedals I'm ready to do it all over again.
