I had a goal this year to bike the Alpine Loop.
10.5 miles straight up hill.
8060 ft. elevation at the top
40 miles total.
It was sooooooo hard. I complained just a little right after I lost one of my lungs up a BIG hill. Then maybe once or twice more. But that was all.
Really.
LOVE this photo!!

Greg went on a 10 mile run before we rode.
Loser.
I was so tired at this point, I couldn't even get my leg over the bike.
Me: Don't hate me cause I'm faaabulous!
Robert: Why do I have to be such a great husband?
p.s. I will not be doing this ride again. For MANY reasons. My laziness is just one of them.
