The boys start out with several miles of sweet downhill on a perfect day to Sargents where Brian loads up with a great breakfast sandwich since he's learned he hates oatmeal. 12 miles of paceline road riding, we head south on gravel. It is 80 degrees and very desert - like riding, climbing gradually but continuously until about mile 56, when the grade gets ridiculous. We finally make Cochetopa Pass (Ute for Buffalo, 2 of them attached) and are supposed to head 2 miles further to Luder Creek Campground, but it's full so we find one of the best campgrounds ever right there at the pass and retire early after an exhausting day. Brian was an animal, doing remarkably well on very little training.
