Ute Pass

The final push to the top is a real kick in the nuts, 2.5 hours of constant climbing to get here,

Sonny killing it.

Heading back down Ute Pass into Manitou wondering if the camera would pick up the string of snot slung across my face....
Today was my first time actually going UP Ute Pass, other than a couple turns it really was not too bad although I would not want to do it if traffic was heavy..  We pedaled from the Springs to the dirt road that leads to Rampart Reservoir and back.  Despite the pace/wind I actually felt pretty good.  We rode about 44 miles, climbed almost 3400ft and averaged 13.2 mph.  Good times were certainly had and I can only imagine fitness was gained.
