Notes
27.3 miles. This midday ride took me up to Altoona and back through Niwot, so the first half was a grind. I accepted that my tired legs just weren't going to propel me to a quick overall speed so I didn't fight it, but it was disappointing to go into a headwind for more than 10 miles from the start of Neva until I got to 287. I had to stop for traffic at 287 and at one point I tried to slip between a break in the constant flow of cars. I hesitated, tried to stop, and was unable to unclip before my momentum had me tilting to hit the pavement. generally unhurt, but my left wrist and a contusion on my left thigh.
