Estes Park Ride

Erin and I went for a ride last weekend. We were going to go from Estes Park to Lyons - about a 40 mile ride. From Estes Park, we had about 10 mile climb up hill for a total of 2,000 feet elevation gain. We were 30 minutes into the hill before the rain started. It was a light drizzle and we had no lightning so we decided to keep going. It was still drizzling once we reached the top of the hill, which made it a cold and slippery decent into Lyons. After a mile of wet, cold 35mph downhill, we reached a church and decided to stop. We called Erin's parents and they picked us up. We didn't reach our destination, but we got in a good workout anyway.
