Longmont/Boulder CO. Cervelo Style

                                                                              

Hola my friends.  I have enjoyed a rare week out of the shop and a visit with our Canadian friends at Cervelo.  Got a chance to ride some nice bikes.  1.5 hours on a P3 carbon.  1.5 hours on a Soloist Carbon SL and a 4 hour 3 climb ride on a the R3Sl the stiffest, lightest, most comfortable bike I have ridden.  Here are a few images from the week.  

A well deserved post ride meal.  Pizza and a Chimay red after 4 hours in the mountains.  I could barely wait for the pizza to hit the table.  

     A photo for Rob aka "the father".  He loves dirt or unpaved roads.  In the city of Jamestown I was caught by a Vitamin Cottage rider and asked him which way I should go given I was wanting 3 more hours after the first climb.  The temp was hot for the locals, but the San Antonio riding had me feeling o.k.   He gave me a nice route which included about 3 miles of dirt.  Note the snow caps in the distance.

      This was the scenic overlook from the high point of the ride.  Continental Divide is down there somewhere.  I later stacked it up in a hairpin.  I was able to slow it down to under 10 before I went yard sale....good thing as I was at almost 50mph about 10 seconds before.  I may have R.P. give me some downhill pointers later.                                                   
                                    Choices.... what to do?????

 I continued on through Jamestown, past peak to peak and back around through Ward. I finally got my legs back on the decent into Longmont.  Normally 10.5 miles does not seem like a long way.   It was clear who the locals were, as I got passed by men, women and children on this 4 hour trip.  

        Thanks for checking the blog and see on the shop ride on Saturday.
