Too tired to say much today. 40 more miles and a ton more climbs in the bag. (5500ft, topping out at 11,200). The good news is that the descents were way more fun than yesterday - super fast and flowy - some of the best I've ever been on. [Tom: it's funny how much the word Ewok sounds like "Oh Fuck" when you're descending at 25mph through the aspens. I was concerned that Dave was in trouble but he later explained that he was merely yelling "Ewok" as we descended. Ewoks? Yes, those Ewoks. The lovable cuddly creatures from the forest moon of Endor. Dave must have been hallucinating from the altitude and/or thought he was Luke Skywalker weaving through the aspens].
The bad news is that just when we thought we were done, they threw in one more diabolical rooty climb that made Tom want to punch someone. [Tom: That someone was Dave since he had been attacking all day from the gun. Old man strength was in full-effect. I can't wait until I'm 48]. At least they ended the stage with a fast berm filled descent.
Our time was better than yesterday and we did one place better in our class, but we're just in it for the buckle.
Tomorrow - over the continental divide...........twice.
