We continued our Teva Mountain Games 4-year streak today with the road bike hill climb. It seems that every year we've been alternating between the XC mountain bike race and the hill climb. We chose to skip the XC yesterday and go whitewater rafting with our friends instead!
We did the hill climb 2 years ago (the day after our wedding), so we were pumped to improve our times today. Of course we wanted to represent COMotion in style on our Yetis, so brought out our 'cross bikes. I threw some road wheels on mine (and it was actually a couple pounds lighter than my road bike!), and Chris rode straight 'cross style, with knobbies!!
My race went off first, and even with a quick, hectic 15-min warm-up, I was rarin' to go. I flew down the TT ramp, and away towards Vail Pass. I ended up winning my division, and finished 3 minutes faster than my time 2 yrs ago!
Chris rocked his race as well, finishing a solid 11th place and improving his time by 1 min, all while sporting the heavier 'cross bike and knobbies! He got lots of looks and a few cheers too!
The Vail weather never disappoints, with a mix of sun, rain, wind, and some snow! It was a great day, and a killer workout for us non-roadies!!!
