Taper Day

Have arrived back in Houston and resting for the Pub Crawl tomorrow. Trained this week in Colorado by riding, hiking and enjoying a few beers and margaritas with friends.

Hiking the mountains is safer than cycling them, those downhill turns at 30mph+ can be dangerous. A cyclist going down James Canyon near Boulder is in serious condition after crashing on a turn yesterday. I know that stretch of road and have cycled down it a few times, not this trip though. I did trip and bruise my left shin while hiking. One should not read a map and hike at the same time. Duh.

11,000 is all? Wiiiiiiimp!

Oh, sorry, that just kind of slipped out. Will need to pick your brain on hiking in the Rockies, something we're suddenly interested in.
