So let me get this straight, we are leaving Telluride (New Hotness) and going to Montrose (Old & Busted)? How come nobody asked me about this? The good news is, what goes up, must come down. As soon as we left town we went over 15 miles, averaging over 20 MPH without even turning the crank.
Now of course, this being RTR, they aren’t gonna let us get off that easy. We had to tackle the Dallas Divide (8,970’) just to make us earn it. Had a guy smack my rear tire and he almost ate it on the climb up. I think he zoned out. Plenty of other carnage today, yard sales, wipeouts, sounds of sirens coming to mend the road rash and roll out the cheesecloth. One broken hip, one broken shoulder & a few other assorted broken bones are the ones we have seen and/or have heard about. Passing these are always a mental picture you don’t need as you barrel down the mountain at 40+ mph on tires that are less than a inch wide.
Todays’s stats:
- Distance 68.46 Miles
- Time in the saddle: 04:50:18
- Calories burned: 4687
- Average HR: 121
- Top Speed: 43.6
