Old Rollins Pass Road
I did a big ride up to the top of Old Rollins Pass road with a couple of friends on Sunday. The weather held up for us, as we were expecting a storm to come in. Looking to the west it looked pretty scary since we stood 11500 feet with no cover. Before getting to […]
High Altitude Training for Mountain Biking
I came across this interesting article that discusses training at high altitudes, around 7000-9000 ft. I don’t know who the person is that wrote the piece or what credentials she has, but it’s still interesting. I live at 9200 ft, and I train high, and live high. I’ve been doing this for almost 5 years […]
