ute pass

yesterday's group ride had about 6 guys, much better than last week's trio. spun north to Silverthorne and then up Ute Pass. some were firing some missiles, I was able to hold my own on most of the short attacks. good to see Roger out there again. and Bruce too, who's in great shape for being in his 50s. climbing up Ute Pass was great. very gradual ramp up on the exertion saw me riding with Greg and Covey til almost the top, where they turned the screw one turn too far for me. forgot I had about a 30mi climb to get back home, had a flat by the high school and rolled in to the office parking lot at 8:30p.
