Going Up!
Tomorrow I’ll do a solo bike ride from Boulder to Estes Park and back. I’ve been training for this for about a month now and I am ready to go. My route will go up Lee Hill Drive to Left Hand Canyon then over to Jamestown. From there I’ll take Overland Drive to Peak-to-Peak Highway. I’ll turn left at Hwy. 7 and follow that to Estes Park. I’ll turn around within an hour and come back Hwy 7 to Lyons and then take Hwy 36 back to Boulder.
I estimate the total distance at about 95 miles and the peak elevation around 10,000 feet. This will be the first long distance ride for me in the Rocky Mountains and I am really looking forward to it. I’m not trying to set any records, just finish the ride on two wheels. I’ll post some photographs of the ride within a couple of days.
The photo below shows my bicycle, which I’ve had for nearly 30 years. I have logged thousands of miles on that bike—it has served me well. It’s an old racing frame that I modified for long distance.
