Mt. Hope

Mon - solid 7.8 mile run over in Cheyenne Canon, ten mile road ride up Gold Camp road in the evening.

Tues - bike commute 66.  Seven there, 13 back.

Wed - run commute 19.  6.7 there, four back.  Guitar lesson in the evening.

Thurs - bike commute 67.  Four there, 13 back.

Fri - run commute 20.  Four there.  Got picked up in the van to head out of town.

Took the van out over the weekend.  Friday night we stayed at the VFW in Buena Vista.  The last place to drink cheap beer in Chaffee County.  Good two hour run on Saturday morning before heading out towards Winfield, stopping near the Sheep Gulch trailhead.  On Sunday morning we headed up to Hope Pass to hike Mt. Hope.  At 13.933 it's the 64th tallest peak in Colorado.  Saw a ton of people - thru hikers and Leadville runners - going up to Hope Pass but only a few folks once we turned off the pass.  Got a little hairy for Mookie up near the summit but everyone survived.  Good day!




For the week:

run - 30 miles, six hours

ride - 50 miles, 5.5 hours

hike - 25 miles, 14 hours
