One Million Feet!

I don't think I've ever looked at my "profile" on my Garmin Connect site where I upload my GPS tracks, but after returning from a good solid ride in the Fruita desert yesterday, I just happened to look at it today.

Yesterday's ride pushed me over 1 million vertical feet of climbing! That is over 189 miles into the air. I'm pretty sure that would be considered "Space" had I logged it all into one push, but alas, it has taken me several years and three different Garmin devices to reach that total.

Kinda cool milestone though.

Been doing pretty good so far in April. Have knocked out rides in Vernal and Fruita to get some MTB miles done. Also, lots of skinning at Loveland in preparation for tomorrow's employee race. I'm feeling pretty good, but as usual there will be some very formidable competition, so I expect to push deep into the pain cave for the roughly 30 minutes it will take to climb to Ptarmigan cabin.

The race tomorrow will be a good intermediate fitness check as we wrap up the ski season here at Loveland.
