This was taken on the first day of the Bicycle Tour of Colorado, a 7 day
event. I hooked up with the tour for this day only, it was there first
and they started in Snowmass Village. I was just doing my sunday am
training ride, when all of a sudden on the road there were hundreds of
bicyclist. It was really fun to ride Independance Pass with that many
bicyclist, the most I have ever encountered. My airseat flatted on the
climb up. I decided to tough it out and fix it at the top.I must have
passed 80% of the riders that day. The picture is near the summit.
Cheers.
