A wonderful friend was willing to watch my kids for me yesterday and DH and I went for a bike ride. I have been dreaming about this ride for years. I used to think that the people we passed on the way from Loveland to Estes Park were absolutely out of their mind. Then I started riding, and I became jealous because they could do it. I didn't think I could. I have only been riding for 2 years now, and have been thrilled with what I have done, but climbing?? No Way!
Well, we decided to do it. It was such a fun ride, I was amazed. It took a little while to get into it, but it was fun, and challenging, but not so much so that I couldn't continue. I didn't feel drained until we got through Glen Haven and started up the steep incline, just before Estes Park. Two riders came down while we were climbing up. I think that would be the better way to go, but the view and the feeling at the top are both written on the little sign up there, "A Piece of Heaven."
