Today Julie took us on a killer road ride called Trail Ridge in Rocky Mtn National Park. The ride was 51 miles and involved THREE straight hours of climbing. We went from 7,000ft in Estes Park to 12,000ft with some more ups and downs in the middle. It was a tough climb, but a wonderful way to see the park, some wildlife and catch up with Julie. The descent was amazing - it lasted about an hour. We didn't bring a camera with us, but Paul snapped some photos as we slogged up the hill toward home. The amazing part is that Julie usually does this very ride, but adds on an additional 49 miles to cap it off at 100. Oh, and she does this at least once a week. Yow!
After the ride we hung out and watched the rain come down. When the rain stopped, we headed into Estes Park to check out the town.
