The bike team left about 7:30 am for Copper Triangle. The ride is 80 miles over three mountain passes.
Congratulations to that beast of a husband of mine! He completed his fourth Copper Triangle.
We are so proud of you and we love you, Andy!
Andy rode with the bike team this morning. They enjoyed beautiful views while riding around Dillon Reservoir.
After lunch in the condo, we took some time to wander around Copper Mountain Resort. This included Sugar Lips where they make fresh, mini donuts. Andy and I discovered the Donut Sundae. It was wonderful!
We spent the rest of the day relaxing around the resort while enjoying the beautiful views. It was a great way to spend the day!
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!
We have arrived in Colorado. Vacation has officially begun!
It is almost vacation time!
The preparation for Colorado has begun! There is a lot to do over the next three days.
