Mount Evans Ride

Tom and I rode to the summit of Mt. Evans in Colorado - the world's highest paved road to 14,200 feet. As you can see we used non-conventional bikes to make the journey. The bike I'm riding is a Bike Friday folding bike and Tom's is a recumbent.

I'm training for my first Triple Bypass, and hope to ride to the top of Mount Evans by the end of May. Looks like a great ride!

Good luck! Hope it doesn't rain on you going down like it did for us.

Thanks. I'll definitely be checking the weather beforehand. I'll still be coming off shoulder surgery when I do it (the surgery is next week), so I need to make sure conditions are good. Although... I guess I can't control the conditions I ride in when Triple Bypass comes!

Great!! What recumbent modelis that?

Kudos to you, sir. Had I attempted to speak while cycling up Mt. Evans, I would have passed out.

You, my friend, are nuts. I start having severe altitude problems at a mere 7,400 feet.  :)
