Fort Collins-Steamboat Springs Birthday Ride 200

Thanks to Mel Sirois for suggesting this, letting me stay at the family condo, and for giving me and my bike a ride back to FC! This marks my 30th year in a row of riding at least one double century. A stiff headwind for 60 miles, some minor mechanical issues, and prematurely dying lights made this a harder ride than it should have been. Ended up biking back and forth on the bike trail in Steamboat Springs for the last 29 miles in darkness @ 8 mph due to the lights issue. That's 3.5 hours of biking at running pace right there. 😅
