Well, I still have the legs to make the 16 mile 4062 foot climb up to the Bogus ski lodge.  Total miles 42.3 – elapsed time 3:42:31 non-stop.  Time for the 16 miles bottom to top climb 2:07.  Considerably longer then my best but the goal for this day was to simply make it.  On my record time I was packing 20+ fewer pounds and was 20 some years younger.  This was also my first 40+ mile ride since July 2014.  Which was also to Bogus and took 3:27 to complete.  Bike was a little skittish on the decent.  Most likely caused by my lack of high speed descent training.  So far other then sore and tight thighs I feel pretty good.  Now I have a time to beat next year.

Cheers!
