Boulder - Days 4 & 5

Yesterday we did the 'Gateway' loop which ended up being roughly 80 miles roundtrip and had a few nice climbs that were shorter (5-20mins). Had some odd twitching near my IT band near my knee on my left leg which was concerning but rode through it and starting feeling fine. Definitely feel better than I did a few days ago, but my legs are still completely tender to the touch - it'll be a nice change to actually have them feel good next week. Liam and Will hit some climbs hard and it was nice to pace around them as they're both great to ride with and rather quick uphill.

This morning we did a nice climb up to Jamestown. The town was apparently destroyed in the flooding last year and this week is the first week the road was open. Very pleasent and gradual climb to the top. The descent consisted of 4 dudes trying to battle a headwind in freezing temperatures with no sun - glad to be done with that.

Anyways, here's some video from the Bus Stop ride on Tuesday and some pics from the last few days.

Trains...

The worst mental part of my trip after getting lost on the ride...only got better from here!

Nice peaceful solo ride back to Boulder

Chicago!

And Jeff absolutely freezing even before the descent...
