My Ride to Breckenridge

Monday, July 23rd, 2007

Riding out of KeystoneThanks for joining us again for the 2007 Tour de Colorado. Today we recap Sunday’s, rider defining, mountain stage. The stage took the riders from the quaint town of Golden, through ski areas such as Loveland and A-Basin, with a spectacular finish past Dillon Reservoir in Breckenridge Colorado.

The rider that came home with the yellow AND poka-dot jersey was Colorado’s very own Matt Matteson. This young rider was not favored in this stage with his, yet then, proven hill climbing skills.

That was fun, no? So I decided last minute, after 11 pm on Saturday to rise early on Sunday and bike to Breckenridge, up the I-70 corridor. I-70 seems like a vicious and dangerous treck, but I talked with Brady and he gave me some tips to getting there with only riding on I-70 for a few miles. These notes will be posted at the end for future pedars to attempt to decrypt and follow.

Going Big to Breck

Sunday, July 22nd, 2007

Wish me luck folks; at 8:30 I’ll be out the door on a treck to Breckenridge from Golden on the bike. This will be the longest, and most elevation I have ever done by far.
