Four cyclists from Big Tree Cycling took on Mount Evans today.
They began the climb right about 9:30 am to the absolute best weather. While Andy was climbing up, the kids and I had lunch at Echo Lake Lodge and then spent some time taking in the sights. We had a great time hanging out at Echo Lake!
At about 2:30 pm, we got an update that Andy was at the summit. This is the third time he has made it to the top!
Once we got word that Andy was at the top, the kids and I left Echo Lake and headed back down the mountain. We stopped at Chicago Creek on the way down. It was so beautiful, and I managed to talk the kids into a selfie.
Once back at the bottom, we got to watch each of the riders arrive. All four went up, and all four came down successful! It was so much fun to watch them finish as it is quite an accomplishment. We spent the evening having dinner with the team at Copper Mountain. It was just a great day and the perfect way to start vacation!
