Sheesh, what a slog today! Started at Memorial Park in Manitou. Over to Ute Pass, then up the long ass hill that is Longs Ranch Road. Tried to be a stud and run all the way up Longs, not only did I fail miserably but it really ruined my legs for the climb on Barr Trail up to see Neil and Teresa. Took advantage of the day to stop very often and enjoy the view of Pikes Peak.
Did make it to Barr Camp. No snow at all! Had a good talk with Neil about Leadville, he's hoping to return this year to do his 10th Leadville. You get a special 1000 mile buckle once you finish your 10th.
