Lake 2 Lake triathlon is next Saturday so Brenda, Scott, Todd, Sarah, John, and I rode the bike course yesterday. Beautiful day and very challenging course. It starts at Loveland High School and goes out west of Loveland to Glade Road, then north to Horsetooth Reservoir (and up that really steep hill!) and then back to Loveland.
Its a fabulous course because its scenic and very challenging. Glade Road is mostly uphill and then there's the climb up to Horsetooth trail park - that was hard! Then its a screamin' downhill before the big climb to the Rez (Todd clocked in at 45 mph!).
I hadn't been on my racing bike since the accident and I was a bit nervous. Riding in the aero position of a racing bike feels a bit scary - you don't have as much control as you do on a road bike, esp going around curves. You feel as if you are going to fly over the handle bars any minute. The good side of riding a racing bike is that they are so much faster! It's like going from my Honda mini-van to a little sports car.
Here's Todd, showing off the Twin River's cycling jersey, below. TTFN!
