It's actually 3 guys/4 wheels. The third guy, my brother, can uni, just
not 5000' vertical & 6500' descending, and 23 miles at elevations over
12000'. So he road his mtn bike.

I want to come up and ride where the background looks fake! Maybe a
little less climbing though... Love those pictures, Mike!

Here are some of my own "fake background" shots:

Thanks John, it was Epic. This was after a 9000' up and down day w/65
miles cokering in 95 degree weather in Mesa Verde National Park. I am
trying to get a trip report of both epic days together, so I can post it
here. LONG LIVE LONG RIDES W/CLIMBING!!

That looks utterly stunning, Mike. I used to climb alot up by
Independence Pass, so I know how beautiful the area is. It almost looks
like you could do much of that trail on a 36 incher. I can´t help but
think Aspen might be a great place for a big regional Muni meet. I live
at sea level and would be suck wind big time.

What kind of camera are you using for those great shots? They are
amazingly vivid.

I use a Nikon 5600 coolpix, just picked it for this epic weekend. I
can't wait to use it somemore. This photo's are from the San Juans in
Southwestern Colorado, but Aspen is the same, just different. I would
love to host a HUGE Uni event in this area......

Co. sometime, we would be honored to have you here.

I don't even know how I would begin to train for rides like those. Our
hills are . . . . well, hills.

It is hard to train for a ride like this one, we were out for 8 hours at
a high elevation. Like 3,000-4,000' higher than were I live. My advice
is to just ride allot, and spend all day doing it. Your body must be
trained to turn fuel into energy for hour after hour. Make sure your
nutrition is appropriate for endurance events like this. Then, take a
road trip to Colorado and blow yourself away with rides like this. Keep
riding.

Having recently been to Colorado, I really don't see myself at that
level. I went snowboarding, and opted to leave the state after 3 days of
that "inability to breathe, feeling weak" thing. I was chased out by a
blizzard (well, y'all wuuld call it a "snow"😉 as well.
For people that don't know about Colorado climbing . . . pedalling up
the hill is only have of the challenge. Try pedalling up a hill and
breathing every 3rd rotation. 🙄

It's inhuman what you're doing!

(It took me 4 hours to do 10 miles of intermediate M-uni today {started
in 95 degrees, ended in rain and mud}. I am a looong way from being able
to climb 5 miles of 8% grade non-stop. I think most of us are.)

Congratulations on another amazing ride!

Are you going to CMW?
What about Kai (and/or your brother)?
