Well, this is the end of the first day. We are in Cortez, Colorado having done a 2,500 foot climb out of Durango over 14 miles. I wasn't mastering my new bike very well and wound up making up this climb on the top ring. A few people went by muttering...one even called me a 'he-man,' but little did they know how much dropping to the second ring would have saved me. One fool rider didn't like the way I pulled out of rest stop and we exchanged a few pleasantries. Being flipped off at 8,500 feet is an identical experience to such dumb encounters at sea level!
