LT Stage Race stage 2

Columbine is still stupid hard. Jack was climbing awesome and put the wood to me toward the top. Felt a little guilty swiping the stage after he rode so well, but figured if I took the full suss all the way up there, I deserved to let it eat on the way down 😂 Bit of Colorado Trail cruising after. Only other time I’ve ridden that section was in the dark after ~2.5 days of nearly nonstop riding. Think I’d slept a total of 90 minutes at that point… was slightly more enjoyable this time haha Speaking of sleep, wouldn’t mind getting a solid amount tonight. Averaging ~5 hours since getting to Leadville. I don’t know how the locals live this high! Buncha hard mofos
