Race Reports for Triple Bipass Ride

[1]

Race rating (5)

Comments: I got started a little late (6:45 AM) due to parking being very limited. However I felt good, and made good time. Juniper Pass: This was the first pass. I planned on starting off easy, just until I could get warmed up. After about ten minutes I felt pretty good, and began to pick up the pace. I was able to stay in the middle chain ring all the way up Juniper. When I reached the summit, I stopped for a quick couple of minutes to refill my water bottles. The ride down to Idaho springs was a little crowded in some sections, but it was still a lot of fun. Those aero bars are great! The ride from Idaho springs to Georgetown was fairly easy I stopped off in Georgetown for 5 minutes to refuel. Georgetown to Loveland: It was starting to get a little warm out, so I made sure to hydrate about every 5 minutes or so. The I70 portion of the ride was a little sketchy with all the truck traffic heading up to the mountains, this made me a little uneasy when passing other riders.

Comments: This just has to be one of the most amazing, beautiful, and challenging ides in America. The scenery can't be beat, and the 10,310' of climbing makes this a serious ride to contend with. The volunteers were wonderful, and there was plenty to eat and drink, although the water at Juniper Pass and in Loveland tasted like dirt again, and mixed with Accelerade it creates a potent cocktail that should only be handled by a Hazmat team.
