It sounds you like you had a beautiful ride! I have to compliment you on doing a ride at altitude, when I first moved to NM (Taos) I went from sea level to 7000 feet. It took awhile to adjust (weeks I think). I could swim one lap at a time in the pool, and hiking uphill was difficult. Sounds like you did just fine.


The elevation gain sounds amazing, and it sounds like a really cool century (neat rest stops and all). I'd love to hear more about your climbs if you care to share
