We made it again today. As I said yesterday, today’s run was much more our style. We started in Vicksburg and had about 2 miles of flat, dirt road before beginning the climb up Hope Pass. There were about 3 miles of steep uphill and then around 4-5 miles of downhill. The route finished with a few miles of rolling terrain. Our total for the day was around 13 miles.
Hope Pass was beautiful and reminded M and I both more of a European climb than a Colorado climb because of the steepness. It was quite cold at the top so we didn’t linger long before making our way down to the finish at Twin Lakes.
