Yesterday I met up with Lubes and PBR Me! at 4:30am for approx 53 miles from Kenosha Pass to Breckenridge to Como. S.S. Spike and his crew were throwing down 85 miles adding an additional 35 miles I didn't think my legs were ready for.
We got a car dropped in Como and were on the Colorado Trail by 6:20

Lubes full of smiles
PBR taking a serious approach to the views
Still a few small snow drifts on the east side of Georgia Pass at treeline
Lubes cranking up to Georgia Pass
PBR almost to Georgia Pass
On over to the Breck side of Georgia Pass
Where probably two dozen snow drifts awaited our tracks
A good ol death march isn't quite right without a little drinkin involved
A few marshes were to be hiked
and lots of route finding
Sometimes we even hung our bikes out to dry
and rode tons of old flume like this
and this
Might be getting familiar now for those of you who have been training on the Fire Cracker Course
We started running into all sorts of folks at this point including
Kerkove,
Sonya,
DJ Birtch,
Rebecca Toma wiki wiki, and several others who I didn't recognize.

down into Breckenridge for some refreshments from the local convenient mart
Then a climb back up Boreas Pass, course we took all the singletrack options to go up
Baker's Tank
A rest stop at the top of the pass
We finished the day on an awesome singletrack descent off the pass. Some where around 53 miles. Sweet!
GPS died on the last 6 miles of the ride..show 7,750 ft of climbing with 97% of the route being over 10,000 ft and our high point for the day being 11,870
