The moment we will remember
Dropping into the San Luis Valley with the Sangre de Cristos standing on one side and thirty-six metres of climbing in thirty-five kilometres on the other.
“This is the floor we have been looking for since Utah.”

Somewhere on this valley floor is the stretch of CO-17 where four records will be attempted. We rode part of it today without saying very much.
