I could get used to this!

I'm not quite sure where we went riding today (somewhere near Colorado Springs) but it was a lot of fun. Juli and Chuck were telling me the names of the trails as we rode them, but I was too busy breathing to pay much attention. We didn't go as high as I would have liked to have gone, but we did top out at about 8,000 plus feet. Plenty high enough for me to completely crack on one the climbs half-way through our ride.

Once again we had awesome views...

I think we got about 2.5 hours of trail riding in, and then Juli and I rode back to her house. Our total ride time was about 4 hours-just what the coach ordered. Since we were riding lower the temps were a lot hotter. By the time we got back I was completely cooked. Not to mention starving!

We headed downtown for one of my favorite foods of all time...

And yes, I ate this entire pizza myself...oink, oink!
After stuffing our faces we headed over to the Velodrome to watch racers suffer. It was my first time watching track racing live, and it was super cool.

I think my favorite race to watch was the one where racers had to start from a standing position and only had one lap to sprint it out. Talk about a puke-fest.

Katie Compton was there hammering away...so fast that it was hard to get a picture

This was one time where I did not mind being a spectator!
Tomorrow we ride again!!!! Not sure where, but I am sure of two things...

1. There will be a lot of climbing

and

2. I will be out of breath!
