Wow- I'm in awe of you!!!! I can't imagine what it takes to conquer that amount of climbing. DH and I have contemplated this ride, but we're flatlanders, and the climbing would just kill us (and it's not like training on our weenie 500 ft climbs would do us any good).
I'm amazed that you did so well with such little nutritional options available. Way to go, sista! Loved the report, as well as the pictures. Just beautiful!!!! Colorado is one of my favorite places- we just got back from there last week.
