Climbing time 2 hours. An hour and a half of catching my breath. Maximum speed 25 miles. A good portion of the large descent was snow covered, but we had pretty good traction. One of the riders with us won the Great Big Loop race in Santa Fe, which includes 17,000 feet of climbing. I think I and another sea level dweller on the ride slowed him down a bit. The other two locals on the ride never seemed to be breathing too hard. By the way, we did our first 200 feet of climbing on pavement. We then got on the single track and climbed 600 feet in the next mile. That was the toughest climb.CrashedAgainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06783443451101246252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33183222.post-60732636986707777542009-11-01T20:36:15.156-05:002009-11-01T20:36:15.156-05:00You dropped 900 feet in one mile!
