Training Log: Saturday 29 & Sun May 30th

Saturday, I did the shop ride with the Bicycle Village Performance group - it killed me, but was excellent to ride with more skilled/faster/stronger riders - pushed me to my limits.

Saturday

On Sunday, I drove

out to Buena Vista to do

Cottonwood Pass

and get one really good climb in before Ride the Rockies. I rode from 306 & Hwy 24 to the

summit of Cottonwood Pass and back - there are no traffic lights and the road has very few cars - a perfect ride.
