Afterwards, I drove back to Pueblo and hopped on the bike. It was a leisurely pace for the first couple hours. And then the climbing started. It wasn't severe just continuous for miles. Of course the rain started about the time I was gasping for air as I passed 8000 feet. I thought that 50 miles be all I could hack for the day. Finally, I reached the summit of the pass at 9200 feet and the weather has cleared. What a relief to descend! But wait a second, what is that on the horizon? Thunderstorms. On the descent, I got caught in two hail storms! Ouch. By the time I reached the bottom, I was frozen.
After a cup of coffee, the sun came out and I found some motivation. To be honest, when it isn't raining or hailing the Rockies are gorgeous.
